The Moog Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 This afternoon managed to brave the cold and get the hoses swapped out. Bought some maptun silicon ones from Neobrothers. The split is clearThere was another split further down the hose as well - so just as well I didn't bodge the first split to get to the south. The pipes were proper buggers to get off the heater matrix I had order new hose clip pliers during the week as my old ones were knackered FittedFill with coolant and bobs your uncle. An incredibly unexciting update. Tickman, LightBulbFun, Jim Bell and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moog Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 what are these pliers called?Called hose clip tool. I had a cheap pair which sheared the ratchet bit (based on Adam savage's concept of buy cheap and if you knacker it through use, buy better ones) and now have replaced them with this set Tickman and Dave_Q 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moog Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 Isn't nice to have friends ... Especially ones you can on rely on to be the voice of reason and tell me I am an idiot. Thanks for a certain friend and a moment of weakness (first beer in 3 weeks) - I shall be delaying my final tat account for 2020 as This weekend I have got two motor vehicles incoming - which will result in at least one leaving. One of which is motorhome and number two is something I haven't owned before. strangeangel, NorthernMonkey, Jim Bell and 8 others 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cento16v Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I'm guessing that hose is a week spot on 9-5s judging by the previous replies and the face mine did the exact same thing on the M56 when I booted it down the slip road 😂 Its very dramatic when it goes, i felt like the Red Arrows.

Judging by Missus Moogs reaction it might be just a case of tootling around in the BX for a month once I have got the clutch fixed and then probably roffle it. Book time seems to be 8 hours for the clutch, but luckily I have Northern Monkeys lift to work on under cover. Will get a LUK clutch kit, plus driveshaft seals and crank seal plus a clutch cable just in case. Tickman, dome and egg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moog Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 BX Luk clutch, drive shaft seals, clutch cable and crank oil seal ordered of ebay with credit card. Anything else worth doing when I am doing the clutch? My only concern after reading Strangeangels adventures is that it seems to be nom noming clutches. I am hoping a good quality kit should solve that. Sod christmas, I am so excited for the weekend for my two new toys ... (ignoring the non working mx5 sitting in the corner!)

The Moog Posted December 12, 2020 Author Share Posted December 12, 2020 Collection 1all back safe and sound. It's a big old beast but everything works. The dealer tried everything before we left and noticed that the blown air heater switch was dicky, the radio aerial was a bit pants and the awning was stiff. Stuck it straight into the workshop and got it all sorted before we left. Tickman, Cavcraft, Fat_Pirate and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
