... apart from me  ;)
Yeah, but you're nearly as old as that Yorkshire Scouser, and we know old'uns can't learn new tricks :P

I have a wide range of sizes of stainless Jubilee clips that were 'requisitioned' from a previous employment  ::) and use an appropriate sized Jubilee  :-*
Thieving bastid ;D.  Is this why I can't buy Beanz anywhere?  I had to buy Branston crap at the weekend.  Though TBH, I suspect they will get donated to the local food bank, because they're bloody 'orrible.
Apparently we were really behind on orders before all this Covid 19 started.
The factory is running all week end every other week end for the next few months .... I worked last Fri Sat & Sun night  ... it's been a while since I last did nights & hope it'll be a while till the next  :o
Get off this site, and get back to work, I fail to function without Beanz ;D

Thanks for this interesting discussion, after several flushes with tap water I could add 4.5 litres 100% coolant which is 50% of 9 litres. Should be ok now.

During the almost 16 years with the Omega, I was forced to change the 12 seals in the engine block 3 times. Now I use only demineralized water, mixed with the radiator additive, in the proportion recommended in the vehicle manual. In the additive packaging, it mentions durability of 4 years of use, however, I intend to change the solution every 2 years. I believe that I will not have any more problems with the new aluminum seals, made to measure.  :y
