Thanks Eeyore!
Oh wow, I've been taking it easy all week however today I needed to flush out the mostly water mix I put in the system at the roadside. Anyway, I think I've secured the bottom radiator hose again with the awful cir-clip thing. I really hope someone out there finds these pictures useful as I had a hard time finding anything remotely to do with the newer style (and bad) radiator design:
So.. Ready to put in new coolant, undo the bleed point on the engine block, took a little look through the hole - Uh Oh, more trouble:
Thermostat nuked itself inside the housing.
However the inside seems to be superbly clean by the look of it!
I'll have to go out tomorrow to get a new thermostat, obviously so unfortunately the car will need to stay put. I also got some new spark plugs too - I'm using Iridium ones at the moment but I'm going to stick some regular NGK ones in just to see how it runs in comparison.
