Will try to start a proper thread when I have time, but Cabriolet is now on the road. Our usual garage had issues with their computer so had to take it to Kwik Sh!t for it's test proper, they creamed it on advisories for bs items (including rear discs scored/pads thin, when I'd replaced the things myself!) but couldn't legally fail us so HA!
Got it's issues, but for a £150 car supposedly with a cooked head, it's turned out pretty damn good. Big things on the to-fix list are passenger window regulator cables are snapped, blower fan seized and the roof needs a good clean plus need to get 2 tyres on the Cyclones as we used some steelies for the MoT (because skint lol).
Edit- 50 miles down & no signs of losing/using coolant as yet so hopefully the engine survived it's cook-up (honestly I believe the bloke replaced the rad. forgot to swap across the fan switch & when it boiled up on the drive afterwards, just parked it thinking the worst & that's what might have saved it). Can tell we've got a cab on the road again now though, any time we own a working drop-top the heavens open biblically! At least it'll make cleaning the roof a bit easier as it's already soaked...
