Thanks all, I guessed I could rely on you. I also spotted a frayed fan belt which will be sorted at the same time. Just in time for the good weather seasons ahead of us.

A hose sprang a leak this week, with a fine spray of coolant sizzling on the top of my engine. I will get the new one from Craddocks, but I would appreciate knowing the part number. Thanks in advance for the member who looks in the parts catalogue. Full praise to the one who knows it off the top...

Hello, glad to have found this forum, looks like the right people are on here to keep me happy and interested in my old beast. I have a question for the Series 3 mechanic, and it's this which made me search for a good forum. Question posted in the relevent section.
