Re: How will I know if my overheating is terminal ?

I have located a leaking hose under the drivers side door its a rubber hose that connects to a metal pipe and appears to be leaking from there. How will I know if I have done major damage ? is there any visual signs (not noisy on engine) I will send Maxheadroom a mail thanks for that.


cheers

Fiamma Cycle rack

Hi

I have a rear Terzo ladder which I really like but was considering selling this and going for a Fiamma rear cycle rack, the issue I would face is getting onto the roof to pack/unpack roofbox. Is the Fiamma strong enough to climb up ?


thanks
