Another temporary fix for older low pressure cooling systems is to separate an egg and drop the egg-white into the radiator. Like the old pantyhose-as-fanbelt trick, it won't last long but hopefully long enough to get to a shop.

Often when you shut off the engine, these temporary fixes let go and must be repeated. Add about 2 tablespoons of mustard to your coolant. The mustard will migrate to the leak quickly and make an instant seal. The surplus mustard will melt into your coolant and just go away. The second solution is to add black pepper to the radiator. Like the mustard, this will require about 2 tablespoons of pepper. Both of these remedies are available in packets at <http://voices.yahoo.com/topic/3203/fast_food.html> fast food restaurants. They are temporary fixes until you can get somewhere for a permanent solution. Pretty hot solutions. But it when on to recommend stop leak preparations.

I have the front end of the Mog up on ramps at the moment so I can see roughly where the leaking coolant is coming from. For now I have just bought a bottle of K-Seal that will hopefully allow me to keep the Mog on the road until the winter; we'll see. K-Seal makes claims about once fixed with K-Seal it is permanent, I guess I'm an old cynic, but again we'll see. I looked on the Mulberry site and found the radiator I would need, very impressive, almost makes you want one even if the present old one is still OK!! ...but maybe not.

I know of several other Mogs which have suffered from similar leaking problems and non are driven over 'rough' ground in a competitive way. My local Serck outlet were always very helpful with doing repairs, the only pain was removing and refitting. I always jack the front of my car either from both sides at once or centrally to minimise any twist on the front of the chassis which gets passed on to the radiator mounts.
