Hi all,

Happy New Year to all, hope everyone had a good Christmas under the circumstances.

Thanks all for the suggestions.

I think I will do the IMG as a matter of course.
Can anyone tell me if the coolant system needs draining in order to change the IMG?
I replaced it on my partners Rover 25 1.4 a few years back and drained the system for that purely because the coolant needed changing anyway. Would be convenient if I didn't have to drop the coolant though.

Also, the T-piece I have seen mentioned a few times as a possibly leak source though mine looks fine on inspection.

Could someone please point me in the direction of a good metal replacement? The only ones I see on DMGRS are for the 1.8T.

Many thanks as always.
