james Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 i had the same shifter setup and is rocksyou can bypass the core so you can drive the car =]in the engine bay look for the supply and return hoses to the heater matrix at the firewallremove them join them with a piece of copper pipe and clamp them with hose clamps (screw/bolt on ones)or you could try stop leak, but you have it out so that a last option plz post a few pitcures of the whole matrix and where you think it is leak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 I've not got it out yet. Tonight hopefully. Can get a replacement from local breaker off a 2002 rover 45. Not sure if its the same part?Alternatively if the leak is obvious then I could try and solder it. Bit miffed at the minute. Always something wrong, and this is a nightmare.Sad times.
