cheers lads, is that the sender that sits in top of the expansion tank? thats got an o ring sort of thing round it, i didnt know the tank should be brim full so that might be down to me, let me try that and come back to you guys.

have just changed coolant and bled system 2 or 3 times, have noticed when the engine is well up to temp, pressure in the system is escaping through the sender unit on top of the expansion bottle, is this something to worry about or not? cetainly i am getting air into the system somewhere as after i ...

thanks chaps, hit the nail on the head as usual, a good rub down with wd40 seems to have improved things no end, new bits ordered & on the way

righto, they stay then, thanks folks

cheers louey, i mean to keep big main one and do away with those little things under the wheel arches

does anyone know whether its strictly nessacary to keep the auxillary petrol tanks or can they be discarded? getting gas soon and cant see point of keeping them to be honest, any views greatly appreciated as always, cheers

as disco says, take one jump lead, put one end on top of glow plug, the other on pos terminal, then touch bottom of plug to neg terminal, it should glow pretty quick, if it doesnt its had it, it only takes one duff one to affect starting
