quick update on the Welsh plugs/core plugs /freeze plugs.We eventually found the correct one with the help of my mate Alan and his Vernier.The said plug has been fitted and now we are sorting out the sodding airlock,or rather we are hoping that it is an airlock or thermostat rather than anything...

and we thought we could hear a fat lady singing. Said welsh plug,block hole was cleaned and everso slightly sanded as was the welsh plug.everything all neatly put back together and off we go .50 k's down the road beep beep beep goes the engine monitor.then a very embarrassing moment getting...
