LMFAO :rofl:

I am led to believe, by a close friend in insurance, that his insurance company would pay out any third party costs (if he is insured) but would not cover any of his costs. They may well take him to court to recover tho

I feel a photo opportunity coming on .lol

do a water pipe bypass on the plenum, remove the egr valve, pcv replace and a few other bits easier when the lump is out

and use the force???? :)

for 50p Ill come round and let you take a picture of me pissing in your washing, in fact fook it Ill give you 50p :)

funny thing is the first thought i had was "i know I have break fluid, wonder where the missus keeps the bleach"

your virginity?

Telephone call for Mr. Prodigal Son, Mr. P.Son? Anyone??? Welcome back Tone, mate :)

what are you using to do the mapping john? Still toying with zedtalk (though have concern after your comments:()

mark he was talkking about flushing rather than just refilling bud

there are two silver metal pipes which join onto the top and bottom rad hoses on the engine block, the bottom one (arrowed in the pic) comes off and the thermostat is underneath it. It is held on by 2 nuts (13mm) on the bottom and an allen bolt(4 or 6 mm, long reach)between the two pipes if I remember correctly. Be careful on the allen bolt between the two pipes, there are two allen bolts in there, one for the top pipe and one for the bottom.

Myself and a mate were going out yesterday along the catrham bends, a local fast set of sweeping bends. I was in my Mitsi Galant. I know the road really well and could (if on a similiar test track) take the first three corners at upwards of ninety in a car. While approaching the first bend a Golf GTi is up the back of me, now I am sitting at afew miles below "optimum speed" and thought fair play, and let him past. The silly little twat nearly lost the car on the bend (which has a waist height concrete divider), he was all over the place. Scary thing was thr "little person on board" sticker on the back window. Made me wonder if he put that there so people would know to look for a kid whilst searching the wreckage.

the best way I have found to flush the rad is to take the thermostat out. If you leaver it in, and flush with cold water, it never opens and so you are not flushing the whole system. Also I do run the engine while re-filling, I find that it clears air pockets better. it sounds like you have a big air pocket, which is expanding when she heats up, pushing water into the expansion tank, which is then in turn overflowing. There is a hole in the neck of the reserve tank, which will p1ss water if it becomes overfilled, making it seem like you have a leak.

the reservoir has a hole in the neck so that it can not over fill. It is possible that in the coolant in your rad has expanded into the reservoir to the extent that it has flowed out of the hole (as it is supposed to). This would be more likely to hapopen if someone has filled your reservoir up at the same time as your rad, while they both are cold. The heat expands the coolant, which flows into the reservoir (which is already filled) and so spills out of the "overflow" hole. Check this befor epresuming that your reservoir is leaking :)

I would rather stick needles in my eys than watch that toss

could have been .lol. I got so many round here its like andy Z's house

they must be well fit mate, lager and chips, real supermodels .lol. Tho i should say fook all, as mrs Jock is a hull lass, and watching :x:

have seen it before, looks like a couple of pipes with a heatwave over it. The sensor box is under the central consol, behind the handbrake if you want to unplug it :)

surely if they are fitter, they are harder to catch? or is it a new training regime?

I am so good to you

Gutted for you mate. Only advice I would give is book it again now (or wait till your sober, trying top book a driving test while p1ssed may give the wrong impression)

its like that scene in grease where all the boys are racing for ownership papers, and all the hairdressers are watching....Greased Lightning . LMFAO

fat is pos, thin is neg IIRC

at least they bring yours back.lol
