Tuesday I took one astra H 1.6 estate for MOT .it passed ,no advisories
then took my omega 2.6 for MOT , it passed ,no advisories
then late afternoon I took the Astra G 1.4 for MOT ,passed, no advisories
I've been very busy recently ,so didn't prep the cars as much as i would normally .
omega has a crack in the plastic side tank of the rad by battery ,weeps slightly when hot .
I've got a new rad from partsinmotion ,just need to find time to fit it

Going to ask the dumb DIYer question now....
What does Part 1 and Part 2 refer to? Are they some portion of building reg's?
also check valves on mixer taps and outside taps etc
part 1 is not worth fitting anymore IMHO
Well I did.
The water police will arrest you and throw you in
