That test doesn't half work better when done properly ..

..

So hi speed ok . as expected

Slipped my finger in the exp tank just now and felt the top suface , its showing the start of Emulsion

..

So its 2- Nil to the HGF's ..

..

So next often asked question is:............ which gasket

C.

PS..I've got all the kit ,plenty enough skill , and time, but not so much inclination nowadays, plus its not my car

Visit Mat at DMGRS website, good technical info and a whole range of gaskets together with explanation of which to use and when.

I should have used a few more words .

..

I know of the usage's/ limits in fitting the MLS and Elastomer gaskets .

I thought there was another one in the offing, as used by NACMG , but seems this may just be an MLS variant with stronger bolts.
And another one thats not actually materialized yet .. from this thread

Anyone with experiences of these peeps , bit of a way away so travel costs might mount up a bit too much ??

Is Exeter closer to you? There's a place there which has received good reports from forum users in the area.

Good but not the best mobile service in my opinion, google "Rough Luck Racing", a tad more expensive but he is very good and you get the man himself as it were!
I have used both outfits, just my opinion...

After getting the Low speed back on the 1.8. warmed it up this morning whilst the dizzles wndscreen was being fitted.

But on running the engine up the temps will still go up 100 then hover around 95 @ lowest to 100 highest and the Low speed doesn't seem to come on ?
