Got a battery for the Austin, checked out some eleccy stuff. EML flashing as not got a chip yet, mechanical problem with the wipers and might have to take the dash back out to get to it.

Found a voucher for a local place to do an air con regass on the Galaxy.

500g out, 850g of refrigerant back in, no oil left in it either, 2g put in. Probably explains why the air con was cool, but not cold. Arguably should have done the cabin filter first, but no evidence of it being regassed in its (nearly) 11yrs I figured it was time either way.

Finished a head gasket repair on a friends 1.4 Turbo Zaf C.

I guess that is the smaller vent hose from the top of coolant elbow at the gearbox end of the engine to the header tank?

Yes it was this hose, 5 minute job thankfully. So much space in the engine bay!

I'm wondering about the exhaust flexi though when the time comes, can same thing that was done on the old 2.2 Omega's be done. In that the old flexi is cut out and a replacement welded back in?

I'd also like to clean the throttle body but not sure how. The ZafiraC forums are all into bonnet lip spoilers, rear wiper deletes and air intake replacements.
