You can save a bunch by ordering from Partsouq depending on shipping and ?Tariffs to Oz??

Thanks. Can you actually replace these 2 hoses + valve without draining the whole cooling system?

No way! yeah, I almost gave up...20mn looking everywhere, that valve is right at the back/middle of a particularly high and long engine bay, had to pull my tactical torch to spot it. Replace, re-pressure test, hopefully happy days then.

best outcome for sure! P.s can you please send me the link to the pressure tester you bought?

You might find the same kit cheaper from Ebay etc, they’ve just rebranded it and put a premium on the price. I was just driving past Nowra and liked the convenience of pulling over and grabbing it. It’s pretty good, only thing I wasn’t able to do is pressure test my rad cap. I’ve used the adapters etc but just couldn’t find a way and air is escaping from underneath cap, spring not locking properly. let me know if you succeed. Worked great on the radiator however which was the main goal as my rad cap is OEM anyway.
