Firstly let me say I am not trying to sell this product nor do I have any affiliation with this product. Recently whilst towing my KK to
Coffs Harbour to finalise the sale, I blew a top radiator hose on my NL Pajero near West Wyalong. I wasn't carrying a spare. I taped it up with insulation tape, put the radiator cap on 1/2 way and continued to town after filling with water. I bought some Extreme Tape ($16.50, so not cheap) from a local servo. It is a rubber compound which sticks to itself and bonds "permanently". I only mention this here because it got me out of trouble and may be beneficial to others. I continued 3,500 kms and it is still working fine. I bought a new hose and will replace it this week. We all carry spare hoses but for those who don't or for heater hose problems etc. it would be fantastic.
