Avoid those sleepless nights, add Vactan application into your routine maintenance to prevent such worries. I could assist in putting together a maintenance plan if you'd like......................................................................................

Whenever I read "vactan", my brain autocorrects to "fertan".

JP group part is too long, dunno why they would do that, no biggie cut it down

Decided not to give in to peer pressure on the clip ( some may say bullying
) so in an act of defiance I found an even more rusty clip to fit rat style

actually the old clip wasn't too rusty it was panted brown, I have others in blue and seen green so perhaps they were colour coded?

Re: WBXlog
A quick check confirms that's about all Classic have left.
The only 2.1 cam being a +7, but as their +2 was actually more like a -7 I won't be spending my €359 on one!
Unless, by deduction, the +7 is actually a -2...hmmm.

I put the standard thermostat back in today, the 80 degree one runs cold in winter.
Also fitted some bling I bought in the summer but didn't have time to fit before.
