Well it would seem the old girl has had a slight issue since I have had her  :lipsrsealed:

and I put it down to being a diesel and taking ages to warm up, circa 8-9 miles.  :lipsrsealed: :lipsrsealed:

but the thermostat hasnt been fully closing for a fair while going by the marks inside  :huh:

and had then failed fully open on satdee.  :rolleyes:

So today I had a new one fitted, some nice fresh anti freeze, and they even fixed the seeping from the bleed point :afro:

Bang goes this months overtime money  :grin: :laugh:

at least it is sorted  :cool:

Knowing Chuff, I'm guessing the 11's were caused by a rather enthusiastic burst of acceleration, rather than stamping on the brakes :grin:
