Hi guys.
First post, so please go easy on me. Just bought the missus a pacific green 1.7 cat at the weekend. Nowt fancy or owt, bit of rust developing over arches, but nowt too bad. When we went to look at it, the guy had just driven 15 miles and upon our arrival the bonnet was up and the expansion tank was bubbling. After it settled down, I took it for a spin and booooommmmmm. Loved it, snappy and agile. Anyway, pulled back up and I thought must be just an airlock.
We ended up buying the little beast. £380, full MOT, new clutch and four decent tyres. Never got chance to have a look over it over the weekend because of the rain so it has just been stood. Had a look today and the usuall suspect is there, no heat from heater, so I replaced the hcv and attempted to bleed and remove any airlocks. Well after 10-15 mins coolant began leaking out of the back of the expansion tank. Immediately turned off, waited 10 mins then removed the expansion bottle to inspect and low and behold, somebody has drilled 4 holes in the back.
Does anyone know why somebody would do this? would this contribute to having no heat. I have another one on order, should be here tomorrow.
Any thoughts and insights very much welcomed.
Thanks
