Yep, the orion.

You may have seen it around but I haven't used it since ford fair, and didn't use it before since interford...

Its in the garrage until it can be fixed next week anyway.

I just broke 1 bolt hold the thermostat housing off flush with the head, and the threads are knackard in the other 2 bolts.

So I need to get re-thread the bolt holes and get the other bolt out.

But I had to order a hellicoil

I'm in the center bit that doesn't really have a name.

If you go down Newtown road and turn where that speed camera is, I'm around there
