the O ring will be the problem, it's a one time fit item which becomes distorted with contact to the air after it's been soaked in antifreeze.

if I see a transit broken down on the roadside, i'll often stop and offer assistance.

If i see a merc, i head for the nearest puddle and try and teach the stranded owner a lesson
