they are supposed to stop the hot spots in the engine and save the gaskets iirc.


Fook all to fit one either.

I wasn't referring to your car at all - I was referring to the common practice of t-ing the swirl return into the turbo water return, which is clearly rather wrong, and seen on too many cars.

For the record I think your car is awesome.......... well, apart from the paint scheme

you gotta be kidding me

well i also think his header tank looks manky as fook, so sell him a new one and he can sell me his old one at a stupidly low price

p.s. if i leave work here at 4pm and goto fords then drive to you to pickup the whole house pc (i,e the whole base unit) is that ok?
