Still haven't got around to sorting the coolant pipe, it literally loses 4-5 drips over night so I'm not too worried about it. Laziness on my part- not enough light after work and been very busy on the weekends.
In other updates she has turned 172,500 miles as of yesterday, running like a dream. I'm getting 700-730 miles to a tank on the commute to London, which equates to a fuel station visit once every two weeks!
I also put some Osram Nightbreaker Unlimited H7 bulbs in the other day, incredible difference, the road lights up in front of me compared to the old bulbs (no idea what brand, but they were pretty dim!). Also replaced the oil dip stick as the plastic pull bit literally fell apart and had to get some long nosed pliers to get the rest of the dipstick out.
Tried to investigate the 'pre-heater' system with the 4 small glow plugs the other day too, can't really feel any heat until 10-15 mins of driving, the relays look good so I'll just take the connectors off and clean them up to see if that helps or not. Anyone had any experiences with getting this working?
