RE: overheating
Well, of all the bad luck you can have I knew replacing the fan and
thermostat was going much too well when a bolt sheared off in the bottom of
the water-pump body. Now I have to take that apart and do a bit of creative
drilling as well.
Old cars can be a pig sometimes!!!
Still love it though (luckily no hammer to hand...),
