Fitted some proper metal coolant outlet elbows to the LPG vapouriser to replace the plastic rubbish. I defy it to leak any more. >:(

OK, at the next meet.. someone distract him and someone else loosen his elbows..  :P ;D

Washer fluid warning on mid, then check oil too. Which did go out after less than 60 seconds  :-\
Just pop the oil up nearer max, all will be good :y.  Classic "oil is getting near halfway between min and max, and I'm cruising" symptom.

Worst part wasn't the bump, but rather the hour and a half on the phone reporting it to my insurers >:( just to get a reference number to leave on the note along with an apology so that all they need to do is ring my insurers and the damage will be sorted with the minimum of fuss.

Not surprising that people don't bother :-\

Looks like you're all set for French France 8) when are you off?

It's just another plastic bumper - it probably popped out again when you moved away and allowed the heat of the sun to warm the plastic  ;)
