Fitted new radiator today at last, been almost a month now since I drove it!

Barney, that sounded like a good run, you for the Pat Lough show this Sunday?

Sorry..no footage of Kirkistown..battery on camera decided to commit suicide!!! Gave the car a good old thrashing around the circuit, and it behaved impeccably!!! Unfortunately I was the least powered car there, in among Porsches, Lotus's, subarus, and a few bmw's ..but I think I had the most fun!!!! :mrgreen:

Repaired a few gaps in the hood with Sugru. Also tested the last of a can of Halford's Matt Black, with varying results…

bunged it over the pit in work and got under and had a good old check over
and checked to see what kind of diff is fitted torsen me thinks :twisted:

and washed all the crap out of the rad

Cleaned out windscreen washer jets (air line wouldn't clear them), packed with muck.
Took off the steering wheel and moved it one spline to the left to straighten it.
Stripped down the front of the engine and reset cambelt tensioner.. but can't remember if I retighened it.. gah! Might get away with just removing cam cover and top cover off the front to check it.
