Oh, you want to know about my 1hour 40minute drive Over to the other side of Reading to pick up the last plenum to breather seal in the group from the dealers? And that it took them a week to find to which I am greatful, and that the original eejit that served me couldn't navigate Ecp to the point that he showed me a picture of the coolant bridge claiming he had "found it" when he clearly hadn't. ....AND that he's now "no longer with the company"

If you want to know the rest of my day you can bog off, ya nosey bleeding parker! :P

Well I was supposed to be changing the seats from the Recaro leathers to Elite cloth today because SWMBO is moaning about the seat being cold when she gets in..... but the rain has stopped play today for that...

I was also supposed to be changing back from the lowered suspension back to the MV6 suspension but also the rain has stopped play on that too.... :(

On a lighter note, it's my youngest sons 8th birthday today so I'll be playing with his new RC car he got and putting it on charge for him before he comes back from school :)

Did the cam cover seal on the drivers side (135), 6 new plugs and breathers to do tomorrow with an oil change and air filter change as I have a Scotland trip next week.

2 new tyres on my van I just got after the MoT yesterday and the tracking on that as well

Forgot to say a HBV too as that went the night before when the wife used it  :o :o ??? Still I have had antifreeze smell in the car when heaters been on  ::) ::) ???

If it loses coolant still, suspect the heater matrix... Be warned though, the insulation under the carpets will absorb a couple of litres before the carpet gets wet :-\

Put some quality screen wash in , no more of that stuff that stinks of piss when squirted on the screen  ::) Checked the oil , spot on ... suspect sump is weeping  >:(

Fitted replacement fuel line banjo washers,and found coolant leak,due to 3 jubilee clips not being tight enough,and no i never touched that pipe when doing head gasket.

chrisgixer

Jubilees do that, the rubber compresses over time and jubilees have a set tension so can't adjust until you do them up.

Where as the gm spring clips, pits that they are, keep constant tension no matter how much the rubber compresses.
