cant keep it running yet as im waiting for my roose coolant hoses as i ordered the wrong ones for it.they should be here tomorrow so i can fill her up and see how she runs properly.
fingers crossed.
time to add up how much ive spent already.

..........and hide the receipts
then its bleed brakes,set up suspension......its never ending
good stuff
how did you find the fit on the roose hoses, considering either them or samco for my 4x4 and gonna do
all of them at the same time
remember when i fitted my samcos to my series 2 and they required a fair amount of trimming to fit
