Following on from this post, I finally got new heater matrix hoses late afternoon. Fitted them, topped up coolant & fitted a brass plug in the new rad.

Bled the coolant system, got hot air from the heater after a short run, then after switching engine off for a few minutes to check levels and then restarting all I got was cold air from the heater! So decided to have another crack at removing the thermostats plastic plug in order to fit a household radiator bleed plug ... what a tw@t of a job:eek:

Now to top it off I cant get the radiator bleed plug to fit the thermostat:frusty:
 
took mine laning in holmfirth...

Fitted locking system into N/s door

Ahh right. The only rot will be covered by the sticky out bit of plate plus a small patch.
Cheers anyway:)
 
Finally ditched the factory standard stereo set-up for a good quality aftermarket set-up inc all speakers and a discreet, slim-line sub & amp.
The new head unit also has built in Parrot blue tooth kit for the phone which works an absolute treat. More than pleased with the results all round! :bounce:
