Was it held on by a jubilee clip or one of the clips you have to compress with pliers.

The original compress with pliers job.

It hard to tell now I know, but do you think the clip has gone slack or was it not seated in the groove on the rad properly?

It had gone slack. When I went out there to check things I could remove it without pliers - it had no strength left in it.

Thats unlucky - i take it your talking about the lower coolant rad hose - quite unusual for a clip to fail like that - Ive got a couple of oem ones and some jubilles as well if you need. I must admit ive put on some silicone round the bottom pipe and an extra cable tie for reassurance-thats ontop of the oem clip.

Sun, Sea, Spoiler ...

Post by indigolemon » Mon May 28, 2012 1:47 pm

Cracking weekend, so finally refitted the spoiler. Also replaced the heater matrix feed pipe I'd fudged - as well as fitted the Samco top rad hose I acquired (thanks to Pedrodog66 for both of these). Also got my Neuton NT8000's fitted as the Goodyears I had on were ... err ... slicks ...

Anyway, Picturessssssssssss! All taken at lunch today, in the lovely location of Limekilns - named after the huge Lime Kilns which can be seen in the background of some of the shots. When these were in full flow, the harbour would be packed with mahoosive ships to take the lime away. These days it looks rather deserted, with just a few small boats in there. Henjoy!

Huge harbour (East side), tiny boats.

Dirty great big house. Looks epic from the outside.

Aforementioned Lime Kilns behind the lude.

My terrible paint job on the rear arch. Hopefully get the replacement arches in soon 8-)

Yeah man, plan! I'm away this coming weekend, but we'll need to set a date and bash on. I think they're still stashed in Steve's landy :?
