Smells Hot

![Question](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
And yet it's not. I flushed the coolant and replaced it a month ago, after putting in a new water pump and thermostat. It doesn't run hot--after it warms up, the temp gauge doesn't budge off from midway, even on hot days--and there are no visible leaks, as well as no change in coolant level. Any ideas?

There are 'Norma' connectors in the climate control coolant lines on each side of the engine. They connect the engine hoses to the body hoses for initial assembly. They are plastic snap together connectors sealed with an 'O' ring much like a garden hose quick connect.
Prone to a small drip leak after 10 years or so. The 'O' ring is replaceable if you can get the connectors apart without destroying them. Some have cut them out and replaced with 5/8" heater hose and clamps.

Fast (dis-) assembly without tools = time and cost savings
