Quiz time...

A new customer brought her Astra in today with a water leak. Simple split heater hose so an easy fix (providing she's not cooked the h/gasket driving it to us). However she also says it's always suffered with overheating on hot days in traffic...

So who can spot the problem?

has it been in an accident that you know of? Could have been a bodge repair, seen it before with bits missing after repairs.

30+ years in the trade... do you think I didn't look there?
You can just make out one of the mounting captives just under the hose, bottom left of picture.

Probably, as the place she bought it are cowboys but she doesn't know. Truth is I get the impression I'm not getting the whole story... but what's new.
