 Honda FR-V 3+3 MPV - Rust almost killed the engine - Lygonos
Wife arrived home last Friday evening - "something wrong with the heater - only blowing cold"

Spring clip holding the hose on the bottom of the radiator had disintegrated, and the car had poured out all of the coolant.

Pulled the dipstick (plastic) and it was scorched but not melted for the top few inches suggesting an very hot cylinder head had occured.

Refitted the pipe with a pair of jubilee clips, refilled with coolant and so far no sign of CHG failure.

Today have purchased a year's Green Flag cover just in case...!
