Hello

Has anyone else had a problem with corrosion on the top metal pipe on the engine that the radiator top hose connects too?
The pipe has a 90 degree bend and goes between the heads, I believe it's the return pipe and the thermostat and it's housing are connected to it....!

I lifted the bonnet earlier, just to check levels etc and noticed that it was wet and slightly steaming(had just been out). Are these pipes dear to buy and how hard a job to fit? Where will I get one from...best price?

What engine have you got? I have a couple of these pipes knocking about so a pic might save you a few quid!

It's a 3.2 petrol....I'll take a picture in the morning so you can see which one it is.
