MN190 Was the Kenlowe easy to fit, doing it at the weekend.

Good to know the coolant stuff gets hot.

It took less than a day at a nice leisurely pace.

just done my kenlowe it fits like a glove, jules having neatly cut out the right bits, took me a good while to do but it's straightforward would imagine if you are more familiar with taking off the bumpers etc it will be quite a quick job. Relocating the control box is easy with the kenlowe as there is plenty of surplus flex so don't forget to get a sturdy sheet of plastic ready (I cut out a piece from the bottom of an old container) to cover the hole it leaves

Update
Well fitted the Kenlowe over the weekend, a pain of a job due to rusted in screws and bolts that turn and the fact I snapped the top corner of of the fan shroud trying to it fitted back together anyway fan and aircon now seems to be working and fan works just as it should but still getting some pressure in the coolant after a run and letting it cool down, having to add coolant and oil seems to be now a dark chocolate colour rather than black-

However gave it a wash down tonight and you know what it looks a nice motor ho hum.

regarding k seal or even wonderweld which some people claim is better..put it in the system and leave it a few weeks,should seal the problem.

then a oil and coolant change.

Put in the kseal first then top up with correct mix.
Change at a later date if you want but Kseal can be left in unlike some of the others
