JR7073 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Hey, I just got my hands on my 1st rotary and don't know where in Otago/Southland i can get good advice and even some work done. At the moment my main concerns are the cooling system and knowing that the engine is in good running order. Want to get it running mint so im not fretting about ruining it and costing myself too much $$. Anyone who knows of or is a good mechanic that knows rotarys well in Dunedin,Gore,Invercargill,Alexandra,Balcutha area please reply if you can help out. It does leak some water from a pipe above the turbo, which i think may have split either when the turbo caught fire or when it was really hot, have topped up the coolant twice now in 300km of driving, and the coolant fan light does come on if i leave it idling to long. Will elaborate more on the car when i get some interest. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRWEST Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 maybe should pull the turbo water pipe off and check if its split? might be a good start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good , ill find out when i can get to Dunedin next, most likely in a couple days. The pipe is definietely split i could see coolant pissing out of it , just don't know what the name of the pipe is, only a small one and hard to see, cant get a good angel on it to take picture and it only leaks when the engine is warm.
