The issue for me is that I find entering even the small amounts of text required when browsing extremely tedious without a proper keyboard. It'd have to be an Asus transformer or similar.

So I paid less for a fully functional PC - a Netbook.

Just buy a bluetooth keyboard - I've a MS wireless entertainment keyboard 3000 which even has a built in trackpad! and works flawlessly with the samsung galaxy tab.
Ideal for citrix receiver to connect to a remote server

Statement from the Family of Neil Armstrong
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=38284


love the last paragraph:-
"For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink."

Charging full pelt through London in an old V8 Range Rover, sounds quite appealing?
At least none of that health and safety rubbish got in his way, and if it had...he'd probably have run it down 

thats why i always wanted to be a fireman - nothing to do with fires, just ripping the arse out of traffic at speed!

scratch that - found some hose clips that fitted and can confirm the rad is leaking somewhere from the drivers side, I will strip the rad totally tomorrow and investigate further

right tried the inner tube trick - how do you keep the tube on the radiator ?
I tried using the clamps for the hoses but it is far too loose

Thanks for all the suggestions - i will try the inner tube trick tonight and see what happens.
with an eye on replacement, i spoke to my local garage who quoted £300 for genuine & £230 for pattern both seem expensive, so i have had a quick look on the net and found the following:-
http://www.adrad.co.uk/ have a GM463 replacement delivered for just under £100.
http://www.onlineautomotive.co.uk have a replacement delivered  for £150.

anyone got any advise/views pointer on where to go what to avoid

Cheers
