The superior PFL, of course :D. Full of "character" :P

The coolant one is a tad worrying.

Still goes like the clappers. Just not as that beemer that passed me like I was standing still earlier.  //Clarkson Mode: I need more pooowwwweeeerrrrrr!!!

Fixed the Westfield's habit of throwing aux belts into the hard shoulder.

Perished rubber in alternator mount replaced, shimmed to align pulleys perfectly. Belt now nice and tight and going nowhere...




Just as my window of good weather disappears. >:(

Noticed that its' heater matrix is weeping. ::)

Don't believe so. It has a little box with fan and matrix in. It's probably from something, but I bought the box complete, so no idea what.

If I decide to SORN it for the winter, it might just get bypassed for now, otherwise it could do with being fixed. Will have to be fixed eventually or the rev limiter won't be happy. ;D
