I went to look at a mini that was "making funny noises" today. Unfortunately it was one of these people that dont use antifreze/coolant.

The funny noise was the fan belt slipping on the water pump pulley due to the pump being frozen solid. Also one core plug had popped out.

Fortunately there wasnt any terminal damage, which i have seen before!

*Punch*

Yesterday morning, started the car up, let it warm up to temperature. a stream of water drifted past my right foot.

I could have cried at that point, but i knew iv`e always ran a mix of 1:3 of antifreeze.

Shut the car off, got a lift into college. Panic setting in all day. I didnt even look to see where it came from really, a quick look over the top of the block nothing. Just dripping onto the subframe and onto the ground.

Was only the poxy radiator cap.

Minis are just shite...

One thing is that it prevents blocks from cracking, the at least as important thing is that it prevents blocks from rusting inside out......

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.
