    Yeah, in a couple of months. Was lucky to get away without a fine too. The guy was good about it all, and I was good to him. Although he did run off to book someone while he had me pulled over, which was kind of funny (in a way).

    Car has been heating up a bit lately something fierce, to the point today where there was plenty of bubbles in the overflow bottle. Filled it up with coolant, so I'll see how it goes tonight. Going to try and get a proper flush during the week and get them to check the radiator out, see what is going on.

    If its on its way out, we play the game of identify the radiator - I'm assuming its stock, but there's a sticker on it that has '3M' on it, whether it means something or not I don't know.

    Got the cooling system fixes up today. Radiator was 80% blocked (!!!), a couple of leaks and the top an bottom tanks needed some repairing. Hopefully this solves my dramas (no doub it will)!

    Oddly enough it behaved itself quite happily around town... *flees*

    Yeah thats pretty bad. Should be quite happy on longer drives now. Need to get to Ipswich and back this weekend, which is why I needed it done. Was also told the clutch fan is on its way out, which is fine by me, means I can upgrade to some thermos in the future. And a newer radiator (just not now, no money ftl).

    And trying to post on a phone is also ftl, some mighty bad spelling mistakes in there >_>

    Yeah I'll go thermos no doubt, just in time. Was epic cool on the long haul to and from Ipswich. I'd say the fan has life in it yet, I'll keep an eye on it and as it gets worse I'll replace it
