Yep, or re-route it, Ian (DCR) had exactly the same thing, it eventually wore threw the hose and threw coolant everywhere, we did a reroute and replaced the hose, topped up the fluids and no problem since

[duc daz]

you know the one

[duc daz]

shall i put a cable tye round it

[JPM]

If it will keep it out of the way of the fans I don't see a problem, with Ian's it was too late for that, even his gaffer taping efforts didn't help too much

[duc daz]

thanks for that jpm
