Re: Choke ? removal from dash

Thanks all

I managed to solve it.

Mounted on dash with a screw fix housing.

Never used it!

Thanks again.

Re: ENGINE: Diesel to Aircooled

Thanks for the feedback and thoughts.

Decided to give the diesel one last chance and swap out the heater matrix at weekend.

I’ve lived with it this long :)

Thanks again

Yes - just want to try and 'simplify' and remove watercooled ongoing problems...

Would be good to understand if possible and if someone can do this.

thanks
