Likewise on my fusion. Every MOT they get a bit more clarity for a while. Trick is not to rush or rub too hard (stop sniggering at the back) or you can scorch or scratch the surface.

You flatter me!
I remember the dark days before the EU very well thanks. Endless strikes, power off almost every night, those were the days eh?!
Anyway, you've clearly made up your mind that there was no benefit from the EU. I can see the loss of those benefits first hand and if it's costing us 100k a year then over the whole country it's costing a damned sight more than the "billions" of UK taxpayer money we were paying. But I guess you will be too old to see that.
EU being vindictive, yeah right. Applying the rules is vindictive now is it. I guess you feel hard done to if you get caught speeding because you think the speed limit is too low anyway.
Let's leave it at that before we fall out over it.

The strikes were stopped by joining the EU? That's a new one. EFTA the European Free Trade Area was great. Merkle's 4th Reich is not.

I've been trying to clean the expansion tank off the scrapper prior to some experimentation. There's some sort of dirt both inside and outside that can be scratched off but doesn't respond to fairy liquid, the dishwasher, citric acid or common table salt (both with boiling water). Leaving a hose connected for 2 hours doesn't shift anything either. Ideas to clean the inside, anyone?!

Hydrochloric acid if there are no metal fittings. Gloves and mask needed. Or just leave it be.

Have you tried putting it in the dishwasher on a high temp program?
Water and small stones and shake the bolliks out if it
Bleach

just ordered one of these.
I figured if I've got to rip the dash out to try and sort the head unit out anyway I might as well modernise it somewhat.
Bugs me though that it's almost 500 quid for the range rover one but the one we bought for the transit was same spec but under 200 quid.
Bloody range rovers...........

I had no luck. Tried few methods but nothing worked. It was a little better by the end but not enough to see through it. I checked levels by using improvised dip stick. Only way I know is new tank.
Hard to get that here in a suitably strong solution

Filled him. Warning light was on but only took just over 80 litres. Then wafted 160 miles to and from the parents in Yorkshire, only glitch being EAS error a couple of miles after leaving. Nanocom said unknown error but cleared it and no issues after.
Lovely to have that view and the ease of trickling along in the 4 junction queue, plus the stability and weight in the crosswind.

If we had been given a 3 choice referendum instead of 2 I think it would have been markedly different.
Stay in.
Leave.
Rescind the treaties we as voters didn't get a say on (Maastricht and Lisbon) so we were in for trade but not full unification.
I think the majority would have said 3 was a sensible compromise and would have saved a lot of grief all round.

That would work. It's how they clean cement mixers.Water and small stones and shake the bolliks out if it
Some fine pea gravel and some sand and something to tumble it slowly. Make an arbour out of threaded bar and use an old tank cap fit it into a cordless at slow speed.

That takes things back to EFTA but the EU would have none of it, the choice they imposed was in or out.
