kv6 bottom radiator hose
Had the bottom hose start leaking coolant, found it was the bleed screw rotting away.
I had what i thought was a hose i bought a while back (PCH119301) with bleed screw, had all the right bends except it was about 6” short on the bottom end. Ended up reusing the old hose and put a new bleed screw in and all seems fine. Anyone know what hose exactly i ordered from Rimmers ? |

Hello Peter,
If you look at Rimmer's listings you'll see that PCH119301 is for VIN numbers up to 235720. Is your car within that range? Simon

hi simon, have to check the vin but its a 2003 zt180 but interestingly the inlet manifold is the older type casting with the metal webbing the same as i had in a 2002 rover 75.
Im thinking the hose i had maybe for the older type oil cooler which was on earlier models. |
