right, got the car back, its better but nowhere near what it should be. got a water leak from the top pipe going into the rad, it looks lke its coming straight out from where it actully connects to the rad so mighht just no be on properly. still got an oil leak from somwhere and the alternator isnt charging the battery.

alternator is new but mechanic thinks that the heat from the engine has just destroyed the loom and it needs sorting out... any tests i can do to see if its the alternator or just the wiring?

also, the oil cap keeps blowing off, but its so easy to slide on, i dont see how it would ever stay there. is it supposed to be like this?

Also..... ! at 2500ish revvs i have a horrible tapping sound, sounds like followers , but they are new... what could this be ?? the oil in there atm is semi-snth 10-40. i have mineral oil, just need to replace it, but will this have anything to do with the noise? they are cheap followers so maybe theyr just shit??

ARHHHGHH?!!?!
