Thanks James or should I say "The Stig" as you coach me thro the gears.

Tonight I ran into heavy traffic which ever way I went. After 1 hour of crawling at a snails pace, the engine overheated. I pulled off into a car park at Ally Pally, waited an hour - did a coolant top up and there were no more problems.

I have learned that this particular car does not like crawling along any longer than about 30 - 45 mins before the red light comes on.

I am still going to go for a burn over the w/e..one must push up the revs as I have now learned that it really is important to drive the car as James and Ron have talked about - ultimately to keep the M47 healthy.
