The cannister filters vapours from the fuel system.
Not sure about the hoses, as to whether they get stiff or soft as they age. |

Oh pooh! Just hope it isn't a rear engine welsh plug.. 
It has happened before, and is one of the reasons why it is VERY important to keep the cooling system maintained and with the correct coolant. |

At the very back of the block, remove engine to get at it.
Or remove the body.
Either way, no fun.
But hopefully it won't be that. |

so does it sit somewhere above the gearbox or where exactly is it, can it be seen from top with the intake manifold removed?
If it is the plug atleast i get to replace the factory headers |

jacked up the car today. Above the drivers side cat in the back of the block is some sort of cup like looking plug, looks like a 1cm deep and a few cm wide the water just shoots when i top the radiator so this is a welsh plug? |

im not that brutal or shifty. Goten few prices so far, bout 1100 to remove the engine and do all 8 or just 700 to remove drivers side head and replace the 3 welsh plugs on the head and thats including gaskets and everything. |

Got a price yesterday for a whole gasket/seal kit for the engine for bit over $500 from autopro or $76 for just the RHS head gasket gasket, also would need a rocker cover rubber seal and intake and exhaust gaskets which makes me think i would be better off buying the whole kit which is for both sides and includes all the spark plug seals and quite a few other seals but its for a LS400 will it suit the soarer? I think it was a ACL brand
What has to be removed to take the head off and what should be replaced at the same time? Obviously the welsh plugs will be replaced |
