Hi,

 

Just thought I would fill you in on the days proceedings!

I thought I would try and repair a minor coolant leak in the Z before I was gonna it on the Long trip ,to Peters to get it sprayed.

The leak in question is on the hose between the housing for the temp senders and the block.

It is Saturday so I thought I had better get the hose to repair it before the shop closed!

Take everything apart and the hose I have is too tight to fit on or too big for the spring clips to fit around it.

Will have a look in Halfords Tomo see if they do anything.

I have also decided to upgrade my old socket set and go for a whizzbang new one, does anyone know of decent websites or shops that are reasonable?

 

All the Best,

 

Mark

hi mark

believe it or not but you could kill two birds with one stone. i bort a socket set from halfords three years ago for sixty quid. its the best one ive ever had. not one socket has split and the rachet still works well. i was very suprised and now i get most of my tools there. and they are cheep compared to some. eg: snap on. i hope ive convinced you but have a look for yourself tomorrow.

Yeah I bought 3 big £80-90 socket sets (all slightly different) from halfords last year in a buy 3 pay for 2 deal, they are top quality, ive rebuid most of my car with them, some bits multiple times.

I bought their range of 3 torque wrenches too a month or so ago when the same offer was on for £110 instead of £160, they are ace too.

 

Of course this all depends on whether your halfords have the offer on, mine seems to have it about 3-4 times a year, perhaps more. Gotta say, i know everyone slates Halfords but the big one in Swansea is really good and have some guys that are pretty clued up, although you cant expect wonders.

And they are pretty cheap on a lot of stuff. Like Mongeese, you get free fitting and they'll always be an halfords to fix it if it goes wrong (lifetime guarantee).

 

Jezz.

Thanks Guys,

 

Will have a look when I am in their tomorrow!

Hi,

 

Went in saw their 150 piece set and thought Bollox lets row the boat out, it's expensive but it's the mutts nuts!
