After dynamic our maybe better say during drive I heard psssst and windscreen get misted in a seconds. Did drive another 500 yards, park the truck and notice steam like from the kettle going in the car.coolant when opened the bonnet have seen coolant leaking from the end of 7mils wide hose on the right end side of engine going in out f from black box on sitting between inside the car and under the bonnet area.after couple minutes it speed leak.

After chat with mechanic I drove to his garage. When stopped at the shop and switch off engine my poor truck did big wee. Sticked at Tesco waiting for recovery. Mechanic said to me to not panic.

BTW, are you sure that's a photo of your engine bay and not a pile of junk in the corner of your garage?

Could be the same thing I suppose??

Sounds like it's leaking from heater hose going to matrix or could be this hjklljd9iryht thegarsdor.

Garage prob used jubilee clips stead of them snap ring type that are OE.

No Lukemagnum, it's not diesel.

Only kidding Jarekjeep, my appalling sense of humour will get me into serious trouble one of these days.


How did you get on resolving your leak?

[jarekjeep]

Rang the garage where it was done before and guy told me to calm down.after one hour recovery arriveand Jeep is again in his garage.no cost for me at all. Should be done on Friday. It was faulty heater matrix who's he put in my truck. Past is in manufacturer and should be back repaired tomorrow. So my xj should be mine again from weekend.
