The POS Honda I drive sprung another leak somewhere a couple of weeks ago in the radiator I think. I can make to all the local places I need to go okay, just top it up with water after it cools down.
I decided that wasn’t as much fun as it used to be so I bought a bottle of stop leak from the local car shop and dumped it into the radiator filler. Followed the instructions and it seems to have worked quite well. I drove it about 15 km yesterday and I popped out of the shop to have a look under it and couldn’t see any drops of water under the front, so that was pleasing.
Got home yesterday arvo and I parked the car near the garage (I usually park it about ten metres away down the driveway but I felt lazy) and when I had another look under the front there seemed to be a small puddle.
Shit.
I need to use it again tonight to go to Techspace so i had a look under the bonnet and the radiator is still full and so was the overflow bottle. So no idea where the puddle from yesterday avro came from. I’ll check again tonight after I get home.
Spalding Jr went to Techspace a couple of times several years back. Was impressed.
Would it be the same one?
Maybe. Mine’s at Mudgeeraba so a bit of a drive from your place. Or quite like his as well … ?
