    Thermostat replaced - ran at temp and didn't decide to go all nuclear so far so good. I did a full radiator and coolant flush and also replaced all engine oil whilst working on it as its a bloody nice day to be outside doing man stuff!!!


    I had a crapload of white smoke on startup and will do maf clean next. Idles well, oil still clean after a run so I think cylinder head ok....

    Thanks all and sundry for legendary help guidance and advice - now if the d&$)head mate whose factory I parked in didn't change the gate locks so now I don't have a key and can't drive anywhere other than around a car park I'd be right to get going on a proper drive.....

    If he wasn't the good bloke who fetched me a replacement radiator road side and houses me when needed I'd just just the bull bar and sort the gates out Darrel Kerrigan style
