  1. Im up for this, what a great idea Ivan. Passenger seat is available in my car too for those who wanna go but have no ride
  2. Hi Jon Thanks for the advice, the leak has been found and fixed - it was the pipe that comes out of the top of the thermostat housing and would feed back to the expansion tank. this is blocked off as no expansion tank. The Jubilee clip had cut through the pipe - Pipe replaced = leak fixed.
  3. Well thanks to Rob (CMA) and Andy (ozz) fault was easily fixed - split in the piece of tube used to block of the expansion outlet on the thermostat housing - all fixed! Shaft - I'd still like to strip the head down for the experience. list of items that I need to buy that would need replacing if this was done would be good
  4. Is that the "you don't have to be mad to do this, but it helps" pose
  5. I'm hoping its something easy to sort and not too bad. Thanks to both CMA and Shaft for the offers. If its above my technical knowledge then I will be screaming help!
  6. Nick that would be a plan, but im not sure whether I can do it Saturday or Sunday as meant to be meeting Ron n Rob to discuss stuff Saturday afternoon. Ozz is calling round tomorrow, so we shall have a look at make sure its not something simples like a loose hose
  7. Shaft - in English please! Give me a customers computer network and I can rebuild it with my eyes closed. An engine is black magic to me!
  8. Thanks Dave, think i will add it to the order Hi Marcus, yes it is a pinto - looking to fit new thermostat, and water pump at the weekend. Just hope its not done anything to the head gasket as that will be going further than my knowledge allows
  9. I will be under the bonnet of the hood trying to pin down this water leak!
  10. Been to ECP and ordered thermostat, water pump, oil filter, oil, head gasket set - just in case!!!!! Would it be advisable to get the cam belt and tensioner - just in case the worst has happened and the head gasket has gone?
  11. I second those opinions above! Would like to like them all but I have ran out of likes The Stew was spot on - thanks Andrea , as was all of the other food! Thanks to Shaft for keeping the Barbie entertained at lunchtimes. Just want to add - What a great bunch of people the RHOCaR family are
  12. Will come along if I get the water leak on the car sorted by then, put me down as a maybe
  13. What a brilliant weekend. This was my first ever show with RhOCaR, and I know it will be the first be of many. Great times chatting and drinking round the fire meeting new friends. RHOCaR are a great and friendly group of people, It feels like I have been in the club for a lot longer than just one year Still cant bring myself round to cutting the wristband off!!!
  14. Ok will see if they have the other one in stock too. Will also check on their return policy if it fails Cheers fella
  15. Should be ok with it thanks Nick, but if I do I'll give you a shout
  16. Very true Dave. No I have to investigate the issue
  17. Well I take back all that I've said about my car not having any issues. After the 1200ish miles Scotland tour, traveling to Stoneleigh Saturday and back today, the car has decided to pee coolant all over the drive when I got back. Opened the bonnet, no water in the header tank, leak seems to be coming from either the water pump or the thermostat - more investigation needed me thinks
  18. Well I'm Sat in the New Inn in Heckfield Hampshire. My home for the next 5 days while doing some training. Hope the traffic isn't too bad on Friday for my journey home
  19. 10am may be a little early for me as driving back from hampshire friday night and the hire car will be collected sometime Saturday morning. Wont know till Enterprise call to say what time they are going to collect it
  20. Guys What time is everyone for South Yorks area going down? Do we have any meet up points sorted yet? I ask now as I'm away till friday in Hampshire, but will check the forum on Friday when I get back Simon
