First thing I did was to give her a damm good servicing and flush the cooling system through with dubious quantaties of filth coming out of the hoses.
Eventually running nice and clear I filled with fresh antifreeze and a new thermostat
Then I replaced the missing nuts and bolts that somehow dissapeared on the way to Luton last week.
After this I then degreased the enitre engine bay removing 30 years of crud.
Then a strange thing happened whist adjusting the washer jets.
somehow the pump and the wipers have now stopped working

oh well another job for another day
by the way craig(beerfertoo) what does those 3 relays on the dash do?
and are there any more fuses apart from the obvious 2 on the car??
