Well looks like the fitting of the VHS dampers will be on hold for a bit...

Checked the coolant today and I seem to be about 8mm down on normal.

Noticed a very slight drop a few days ago but after a few long haul trips its dropped again. Looks like it will be off with the cover tonight to have a look.

The car had its HG replaced at somepoint in its life prior to my buying it and it has SS coolant pipes fitted.

I guess ill top it up and keep an eye on it for the next few weeks.. temperature gauge remains the same as ever and I run an OBD2 reader which displays intake and coolant temperatures so I have a constant monitor of this.

Thankfully ive spotted this now and hopefully its a leaky pipe somewhere (im gonna guess the SS pipes as they were fitted about 3000miles ago according to the paperwork and I have driven a lot since buying the car so hopefully something there has came loose.

Failing finding that I guess Ill do an oil change to inspect the oil.. Ive some nice Semi Synthetic Millers XFD 10W40 DERV oil so ill plop that it give the insides a bit of a clean anyway for a couple of months.

And another thing... why are all you mobile mechanics South Bound... Its unfair!

...and change the cap as well! Just in case...

One on route from Satur as we speak!

B&G Coolant alarm might not go amiss, too.

I've got my phone setup to alert me of any overheating issues so id rather concentrate on finding the issue.. only driving short distances anyway as the missus has college exams so ill not be going far

Fair enough. I didn't know there was an app for that...

I made the switch to android so theres basically an app for everything

What's it called Figo? I think I'll be needing that app as well.

Probably Torque or Dash commander.

I was hoping my missing coolant was a leaking pipe. Unfortunately it was HGF on the exhaust side of the engine. I didn't see dripping coolant because it was being evaporated by the exhaust heat. I did finally find coolant in the oil as well.
