I think you need a serious workshop to do that. I particularly like the block for pushing the roll pin out. I had to buy an extractor on Fleabay and then spend some time grinding parts of it away to make it fit.

Thanks. I think that confirms what I have come to realise -ie that the hot coolant goes up the LHS of the underfloor pipes, not the RHS as I had previously assumed.

HI all, looking for some urgent advice

MY Trophy was leaking coolant from one of the big hoses from the engine to the underfloor pipes. So I took them both off and bought replacements. I did take some photos before removing and I am now trying to install the new ones. It is a pre-PRT model

The photos don't seem to help much and I am now in  a complete muddle which goes where. I have consulted several sources including the Roger Parker book and they all seem to give conflicting advice.
The only constant seems to be that the outlet for the coolant is the casting on the head and that should feed the drivers side pipe which goes to the top of the radiator. I am sure that the Y shaped pipe was attached there but the Roger Parker book says that the Y shape hose is the return pipe.

It si possible that the original one one the car were misplaced as they had obviously been off before I purchased it.

Can anyone please give me a definitive answer of which goes where.  thanks in advance
