Aw man...a kebab. I haven't had a kebab for nearly 2 years. Never had one sober either so good to see you keep up the tradition...:D

There are a few of my mates over here who use a product called water wetter instead of the standard 50/50 coolant mix. They swear by it and just run this and water in there systems.

So how long did it take to write the post? He was your fiancée at the start and your hubby by then end....:)

I guess it all boils down to whether or not you intend to keep it or not. If you like the car and want to keep it then get the spanners out and do the job properly.
