Don't know if there's any point bothering with this much more, the whole thread just seems to be a big moan about things not being right, followed by half-fixing things and continuation of the moaning by me....

I thought I'd just doubledouble-check there wasn't any air in the system, so bled the coolant at the thermostat bleed point this morning... and snapped the bleed bolt. Thankfully managed to get the thread out with a screwdriver, and the local mechanic dropped in a replacement non-hollow bolt. So after work I'll be bleeding that through properly before driving anywhere!

As we speak I believe Samass will be on his way to/from Gloucester to collect Ruan's old '6 engine loom. So I'll be making a very early start tomorrow morning at my gran's house again with the intention of changing the hub and engine loom for the second time. Fingers properly f*cking crossed this works!!

Sam if you're reading this, I'll be down my gran's from about 8am, I'll smash out as much as I can getting the hub off and ready to be swapped. Let me know when you're on your way, I'll text you the postcode tonight, and I'll try and get the inlet off so we can crack straight on when you get here. Ps. you're a complete legend for helping me out buddy!! xxx


Christ I still cannot wait until summer so I can get the car properly sparkling again and start to enjoy it as it was intended to be enjoyed Still got the love for it, I just wish it was a bit more straight-forward getting it sorted at the moment!!

And for anyone else who's actually interested, I'm getting my new design adjustable top-mounts delivered early next week, so watch out for another weeks' worth of panic updates as I damage part x and
