  • When in doubt, whip it out!
cars got another problem now, unsure whether it'll be safe to get to telford, the temp light flashes (or whatever light it is, on the left next to the temp gauge) so the gauge and mfa say it's sat around 70 degrees but can smell it overheating yet headgasket is fine so going to replace coolant and see what happens from there  :sad:

I was planning on leaving at 6AM to get there for about 9-9:30, but if the car park is going to be maxed out by then I might need to leave a little earlier!

What way you coming down M40 or M1? I'm sure at that time of the morning from London 2hours is plenty of time no?  :undecided:

I am in south london, So it would take me at least 40 mins to hit the M40 as Id probably drive through town at that time of the morning. From there, itl probably take about 2 hours to get up there.  Thats providing everything goes swimmingly. I know I either have a radiator issue or a thermostat issue so lets hope I can get there in one piece at all!
