Total washout today, sat on our arses till 4pm.

Let us out for restricted laps, somehow blew a coolant hose off when on the gas one lap :(

Then found the oil cooler leaking pretty bad once on the garage. Going to use a 180 fitting to bypass it and throw this cooler in the bin. Pretty bad quality for an Earls item, both fittings snapped off in the past, the brazing is just really bad.

Anyway, hope to be fixed in the morning for more aquaplaning :rolleyes:

Here is a skid from the other day.

Took it back to Earls when the second fitting snapped off, Martin wouldnt replace it because he said I should have come when the first one snapped?!

I said the brazing is obviously not strong enough as both fittings have snapped off... No dice.

Brand new cooler, both fittings broke off on first use, no refund?

Pretty open and shut, try once more then take it to fair trading.

Only questions I'd have are were the hoses supported well or able to move around fatiguing the joint? And when the fittings were done up was a second spanner used on the cooler end to make sure it doesn't twist.

Crap summer to be doing skids in a high power car, eh?

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
