Squeeze the top hose and have someone rev the engine. The hose should swell up as the engine revs increase.

Thanks fellas

my mechanic mate came over today and checked it out blown head gasket and he said water pump too.
Iv got my missus cheapo laser with a head gasket problem at home and now its my sisters car. I wont drive a car for a couple of weeks i think.

I changed the clutch master cylinder. Bleeding that thing took way too long, used a whole bottle of brake fluid.
Doing the rear brakes tomorrow.

Ok so these last few days I've been noticing a sound that kind of sounds like the exhaust may be rattling, it only occurs around 2-2500 rpm and I'm thinking it may be the exhaust hangers/rubbers/whatever you want to call them. anyone had this happen or have an idea as to what it might be?

I replaced my rear pads and rotors.
Topped up the power steering fluid too, it was below the end of the dipstick and was very loud.

Gave my Bora V6 a long overdue wash (lousy european brake dust ).

Tonight im going to finish off fitting the touchscreen head unit my missus bought me for Chrissy, I now have a decent radio surround to fit the radio in, so it should connect to the dash neatly. Its been sitting on small soft rubber mounts since January

Also fitting some fly-screen mesh to the bumper for a drive up the hume to Harden in NSW, 6 hours of killing very very sticky bugs...usually followed by plenty of time trying to get them off! If it works well, I might post a thread on it haha.
