Buying a proper rad from VW and taking the GSF one back.

Oh and will be emptying the humidifier strategically placed in the car to collect up the last of the water from the matrix...

Bodged expansion tank where the hose goes onto the side, got a little angry doing something else the other week and slung a tool at the engine resulting in snapping this nipple (!) clean off the expansion tank. Solution? Drilled the nub left out to 8mm and glued in a piece of broken hollow pen to clamp the hose onto! Did it at the weekend and has done a hundred and fifty mile journey no problem or leaks! Oh got a new expansion tank to put on Sat too! Teach me my lesson there :(

last weekend I gave it a good clean, inside and out. yesterday I checked the tyre pressures and tried to change oil, but couldn't undo the sump bolt   :angry:
Today I got the car higher and used a 2ft bar to undo the bolt  :laugh: and then changed oil and filter. Also sprayed black my hella covers, the two slates on the grill and smoked the reflectors and indicators. vw badges all ready black  :smiley:

All I want to do now is spay my wheels ford graphite grey and lower it 110/100mm  :laugh:
