Hey, I have a hole in the big hose that goes down from the coolant tank, the same as the last one you took off in this video. Leaks like a faucet. Any tips on how to replace it? Im not even sure what the correct replacement part is called.
You should of drained abit of coolant b4 changing the tank and for those spring clamps look on ebay at bluespot long reach radiator hose clamps, they make those clips very easy as they squeeze together they keep the clip loosened untill you push in button on the side so you can use both hands to pull off the hose which with the radiator hose you need
I like watching your videos as your going through most of the jobs that iv done on mine in the last few years. If I could show you the colour of my old coolant tank you would cringe, but the coolant was changed twice in 18 months and was clean at the time of changing the tank so don't know why the bottle goes a rusty orange on the inside???? But a cheap fix I suppose, your engine bay is looking cleaner know with the new mods 👌
Cheers mate, it's definitely getting there. Few more things to do till I'm happy with it but all on good time. I'm pretty sure everyone will love you end result of the entire car once I'm done with it 😉🙊
I know this is an old video but the header tank retaining clip is missing off mine and can’t make out the part number off the video does my head in the header tank moving constantly popping out of place
@@mastersmods i take mine out , apc it , take some silicone spray and polish it , fit trical charger on it , give it a full charge... Vxr will thank you for that...

Ah right okay yeah nice one I'll have a look at those then buddy 👍
Did you use genuine bottle and cap mate had problems with aftermarket once got a genuine one few weeks back for 28
Probably not, was just under £20 off ebay for the bottle and cap. What problems did you have
Loving the vids keep it up!
Legend thanks pal

Top vid as always buddy 🙌
Thank you bro
Put a plaster on your finger. And guess what you're good to go. Lol
Can i ask why did you snow foam jet wash then hand wash. ??
Snowfoam helps loosen the dirt to help get rid of it before a contact wash (with the wash mitt) once you've done that, you're good to go 😂
