Well, actually, the hose was replaced about 30 months ago; still not many
miles; the hose it replaced was nearly 20 years old and 195 kmi.

When it rains, etc., though. Just took the SDL out for several errands
around town; sitting at ATM, 'noticed radiator coolant light come on;
watched
temps gage few bocks away en route to drug store; temp. climbing as I
pulled
up to drug store window; shut 'er down; finished transaction and pulled
forward out of way into shade of tree. Temp high but not max; opened
hood;
water spraying from small crack in hose where smaller hose to expansion
tank connects to larger hose from thermostat to radiator. Hose was
replaced with new from Rusty several months ago.
SWMBO brought 3 jugs of water, 2 of which I used. Meanwhile, police
officer escorted me home 5 or 6 blocks away.

Looks great. ATTABOY, Wilton!
Belt is plenty tight, but I did notice idler pulley slightly askew (not
properly aligned with belt), so 'hafta address that again; new pulley
assembly installed several years ago for same.
Hmmm ....
