Default bit embarrasing!!



i have made a bit of a boo boo! bad diagnosis by me!

i thought my head gasket had gone again but i accidently over filled the oil and the coolant had a air lock so then the level dropped right down!

so it looked like i had coolant in the oil but all is well!!!!!!!!!

so instead of taking the engine to bits again i have started fitting my flo-flex bushs and repairing my wheel arches behind the liners!

so whoops! but YEY!!

Nice one for admitting it its better than mine, i took it to NMS for a setup as quote; "it wasn't running right" and it blew up on the way i literally pulled up with steam pouring from under the bonnet

i can't even imagine what they were thinking.
