I spoke too soon. The PS is leaking fluid again.
I note that my old 5G doesn't have a cooling section. That part of the circuit has simply been looped at the reservoir with rubber hose. I'm happy to go without extra cooling for most use, but we're planning more mountain passes.
Any opinions (relevant ones, that is)?
Didn't someone on here get that part made up somewhere? Not too helpful but maybe it will jog someone's memory.

I fashioned my own out of a length of 10mm aluminium pipe. Could easily have just used copper though.

Funny you say that - if anything with a sporty sounding exhaust pulls up outside the house my dogs bark as they think it's me or Laura, anything else drives past the house they don't bat an eyelid :lol:

First exam of the year today - biochemistry :suicide:

Few new regs, watches are now no longer allowed because of smartwatch cheaters. Also no 'you have 10 minutes remaining' announcements this year because apparently it's distracting. If you're not done writing with 10 minutes to go what are you doing? :|

I've had a terrible night's sleep followed by a pre-exam nervous poo. I'm ready. :twisted:

Just had a recollection of the stress that came with exams. Never the night before, but always on the morning of the exam and during the walk from the class to the exam hall, and with the sitting and the waiting to start, and the reading and the writing. Oh my nerves :? :|

Glad it's been half my life wsince my last exam :!:
