Hey guys, My heater started leaking this morning on the way to work and theres a small amount of coolant leaking onto my carpet, I will eventually pull the heater out and fix or remove completely, but for now i cant afford to take ute off the road. Tonight i am goin to bypass the heater completely with the heater hoses at bthe engine so i dnt need to worry bout it for now, Any tips or info u guys can give me before i go home and tackle it. I think it will be fairly simple but i know alota u have done it and may have a few pointers


cheers in advance

Should be simple enough, just run a hose between the inlet and outlet on the block and make sure the hose isn't kinked. Must be nice to not need a heater right now lol!!
