Errrrr......Just what heater pipes run the full length of the car?
Reason I ask is I have a niggling intermittent leak at the rearish left rear of the corner of the engine.
I have not delved into it yet but there is a small pipe up there that is suspiciously moist.

I seem to be stuck on British machinery:
2002 4.6HSE "Bolt" - First P-38 Most reliable car I have owned. Go figure?
2002 4.6HSE "Borrego" Edition. Back on air and loving it! (Now moved on to a new caretaker)
2000 4.6 HSK "Fang" Wife's daily driver. all original
1985 Classic with Tdi300 Diesel conversion "Outback special" Australia
1982 Waveney Class Ex RNLI Lifeboat
1952 Austin Champ (My first car in 1975) Hawaii
1953 Austin Champ Just for fun! Australia (Sold to mate in Vic)

None on a P38... I started this thread when my Nissan Elgrand engine seized while on holiday and wondered if it'd be a good idea to pay any Rangerover owners to come with a trailer to save me, been keeping the thread updated with my Elgrand woes since. I suppose it does add a bit of context to the forum... other vehicles besides Rangerovers have their problems too ;-)
