My record is 32.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Car back still minus an exhaust tip.
New front lights fitted.
Rear caliper un seized. Will need changing.
New rad cap.
Iridium spark plugs
Oil and filter
And a new bit a fuel hose for the injector rail.
Thought I could smell fuel upon investigation it was peeing out. Technical term apparently.
Hopefully more mpg now.
Certain seems to have a tiny bit more poke.

Also this finally arrived

Thanks guys.
Much smaller than I thought it would be.
Can understand why they are so popular for aftermarket fitment.
Can't imagine there is a car out there without space for one.

Tone.
Officially.
Lowered.

The report of my lowering has been greatly exaggerated.

With apologies to Mark Twain.

Possible coolant leak will keep my eye on it.

The weather has just turned cooler than it has been, have you turned your heater on after not using it for a while ?

Had a few of those!

If you can, get it on a ramp with the engine not too hot. That helped me to see one of my clips under the frunk was weeping and also a drip from near the alternator. If its too hot though you may not see any drips as it will just evaporate.

I don't think so.
I usually have the roof down so the heater goes on a fare bit.
It has certainly turned cold all of a sudden.

Did the rad cap fit your engine properly?

Not going Vin.
Canceled it.
Would want to put a few thousand miles on the supercharger before trying it on the HD.

Found a leak.
Pipe for rad on passenger side.
Don't think clip is holding on the join looks massively corroded.

Need Mikalors? I've got a bunch in stock, if you give me a diameter I can post you a couple. I used them for my Rad but only needed 8 f the 10 I bought.

Pretty sure my old man will have loads of jubilee clips maybe even a mikalor or 2.
Will probably change a few while I am at it

Thanks for the offer much appreciated.

I found that I had a few clip issues with my old V6, post conversion. Having a good look round and upgrading to newer/ better ones is a good plan. I installed a suplementary electric water pump on mine, as well, which helped with heat soak issues, I had in the early days and was useful if it had been given the beans for a bit!

Got home from Nottingham in the Polo to find my other exhaust tip has fallen off the two.
This is turning to to a.project and a half.
Talk about money pit.

Oh bugger, I could go into all the "it will be worth it in the end" stuff but you've probably heard that all before. Still I'm sure it will be.

Make sure the new ones are welded on properly before the SC arrives, dont want them shooting off the first time you give it the beans!
