Wasnt me, the mountain by us had been burning for a couple of weeks, as fast as the fire was being put out new ones were being started. Firemen being abused by some of the little sh!ts, need locking up

Bob, 156 is Sir Chris Brown, I think Steve Altwasser knows his contact details

I cant see how they think this is going to work, having been to the show for the last 15 years the area they are suggesting we go to is usually full including the overspill plots. With all the people from the club that normally camp on the old spot they will need extra camping plots to fit everyone in which seems to defeat the object of moving us.

Glad it worked ok Les

Try this Been looking at this for a day or so because your switch was very funny to work out as pins 3 and 4 are not individual contacts in two of three of the positions, Richard was close but because pin 3 is not seperate internaly in two of the positions on your switch, when on park there is a constant supply to the slow speed which meant the wipers would not turn off. You need to remove the external link between pins 2 and 4 and insert a link between pins 3 and 4. Hope this works Les

Stephen is correct, there is a small pipe that comes off the top of the thermostat housing and goes to the top of the header tank which is an air bleed for the system. The thermostat has a small hole in it which must be at 12 o'clock to bleed air. The hoses to the water pump are changed over in later models and is suggested to do the same for earlier ones, the header tank now goes to the top feed to the pump with the heater return going to the rear of the pump. Mine run ok for years even with a rad off a 1.4l Renault 5. Les

Got my renewal from A plan, had gone up to £148 with breakdown cover so rang around and found the same from Sure term direct for £125 with free legal cover. Rang up A plan but they said the cheapest they could do it was £148 with free legal cover (was £30 extra with renewal) both were with Highway, guess who I'm insured with now. Les

Had a great day, thanks to Bob for sorting out the tickets, the coffee and the cover which kept us dry at the end of the day. Heavy traffic on the way home then a Thunderstorm a mile from the seven bridge, rain so heavy driving at 40mph on the motorway still couldn't see a thing, very scary. Got to the seven bridge sunshine, dry road, was like that for the rest of the way home (sunny Wales). Les

Great weekend as usual. Just found the video taken by the drone from the whole hog pigroast company https://youtu.be/r2vyfcq-CN8 Les

Found this on an old post if it's any help After much messing around it turned out that the park wire 31B went to W3. The reason why it wasn't spotted earlier was that the contact didn't show up on the test lamp as it has switched off when parked. W1 > Light Green/Black (Washer Pump) W2 W3 >Brown/White (31B Park) W4 > Green (53 Wiper Slow) W5 > Red (53B Wiper Fast) W6 W7 W8 W9 W10 > Fused Feed W11 Wiper 53R Black Violet > Fused Feed Wiper 31 Brown > Earth Ignore wire colours but should help with where some wires go to. link to post http://www.rhocar.org/index.php?showtopic=6501&p=50491 Les

Happy Birthday Nigel

Yes please Bob, Enjoyed last year. 2B G216LNY

Yes, changed from a 8v DOHC to a 16v RS2000 Les

Here is a pic of my header tank and rad before i changed to the civic rad, the hose connection are still the same though. (the rad cap is under the bracket on the right) If you have a header tank with a pressure cap the expansion of the water will be accomadated within the header tank itself, it's just a feed for the system and is never full when cold so no need for a bottle to overflow into when hot and suck back out of when cold. I put the overflow from the radiator to the header tank so water could bleed out of the top of the radiator into the header tank if the rad cap opened under pressure (the rad cap has a lower pressure rating the the header tank cap) this will self bleed any air out of the system. Hope this makes sence. Les Here is a pic I just took now.

No need to cut the filler neck off the rad, leave it there with the pressure cap and plumb the overflow from the filler neck on the rad to the header tank. No problems with bleeding, you can always fill up the rad first. I've run mine like this for the past 12 years with no problems. (I can't find a pic of the civic rad I got on my car at the moment.) Les

Dave, I'm very close to you, I'd quite happily pop round and cast an eye over your car to see if there is anything to the best of my knowledge you might fail on. Les

+1 Good day out, took a fellow builder around the track to give him some inspiration to get his car finished. http://s412.photobuc...html?sort=3&o=1 Those drifting lads are nuts, why would you want to do that to your car :crazy: Les

Mine's arrived, thanks Bob.

I'll have one Bob Pm sent Les

Dave, if you do get stuck message me, Your only just up the road from me. Les

That reminds me to change my filter for the spare i got after I mot the car tomorrow. The one on the left is the type that blocked on my carb engine, the one on the right is the one I now use after the LP pump going to the swirl pot on my injection engine. Les
