So after about 45 minutes of Interstate Driving. Pulled up in front of the house. Was talking with my wife for a few minutes... car still running.. and BWOOSH... followed by steam.

Immediately shut the car off..

After the steam settled, popped the hood to find a blown top radiator hose (and a very shredded underside to the hood).


95 Disco.. 115k Miles...

Visually inspected other hoses/radiator and everything looks OK.

So I replaced the top hose (from AB).

Can I just refill the fluid, bleed the system and hope that is all?


Thanks in Advance!

 

You can, but your other hoses wont be far behind.

 

Yeah.. figured i should attend to the others soon. Alright.. heading out to do it now.. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

thanks spike...

Try and add either a bottle of Purple Ice from Royal Purple or a bottle of water wetter, both will help the engine run cooler.
Replace your t/stat and check to make sure your electric fan is still working.
