[mjltigger]

at least mine hasn't got eas.. after the poor / lack of maintenance before i bought it I can guarantee that would be fubar n all lol

 

[ratty]

I think so.. been out and driven up and down hills a bit to clear any airlocks.. will check levels in the am.. expect it to be a little overfull and not sure how to resolve that without risking another airlock?

Use an antifreeze testing pipette to draw the excess out the top of the expansion tank.

I'd lend you mine but I'm waiting for a customer to return it's bulb after using it to repair a customers car on the roadside.:doh::doh::doh:

To be honest I didn't eggzactly lend it out.

I used it to plug a hole in a fuel tank.

It's the only thing that I had on board that fitted.:doh:

 

[gemsdad]

wots wrong with chewing gum

 

[ratty]

wots wrong with chewing gum

I couldn't fit enough in my gob.

The hole was round and was about 2" in diameter. The fuel filler neck had pulled clean away from the top of the tank. The customer didn't have entitlement to recovery so it was a case of either leave em stranded or see what I could do.

It got em home.

 

[gemsdad]

i could come back with a retort but seeing how you are a good un i wont,its good to see someone who will go out of their way to help,well done ratty.

 

[mjltigger]

probably you haven't got it back yet cos they're using it as a filler cap ... no motivation to fix the motor

 

[gemsdad]

ratty,have you ever used that metal putty stuff,i have and found it to be good,dont know about whether it would mend something with fuel vapours etc on it???

 

[mjltigger]
