Please help,
need a coolantexpansion bottle el rapido. Is there one from another car that will fit inits place, and do the job fine. Is the bottle in fact from another make ofcar. If not, can the bottle be purchased as a spare part in the UK, or do I HAVE to buy a metal one from the US. If this is the case, how long will it take to get over here. I really want to get PSO up and running again, andI need to sort the expansion bottle ASAP. Any one got ideas?
Stephen.
PSO 69W.
P.S. Martin, I'm so pissed off about Friday night, had toflat bed the damned thing back to Bath. It seemed the blow back from the bottle explosion, blew off coolant pipesas well. You guys had a great time. I'm looking forward to the next opportunity to come down to the Centre. Even if my car will be running fine by then anyway:) Paul my mechanic is working hard on PSO as we speak. Still got no ideas on the heating/demisting system. Has anyone else encountered problems with the demisters and heating. I've noticed that on my car, there is no trunking connecting the three frontwindscreen vents, to the blower, bit strange that one.....

Hi All,
Well, ain't the list quiet now Arkright's off on his travels?
Saturday was to have seen Steve S, me, James R G, and Rich all meet up at the DIesel Centre for some D-realted work.
Unfortunately on the friday evening on the way down, PSO's soolant bottle blew, so Steve had to cry off, which was a real
shame because James, Rich and I had a real blast! Meetingat the Windmill pub in Cranbrook, the evening started with some
sipped lager, and a burn down the road in our repective machines. Chris the landlord liked the look of the cars outside :-)
The next morning we trundled off to the garage, and the first job was to go and surprise Ben when James and I picked him and
his wife up from the station. To cut a long story short, he was smitten and spent the whole day there with our three cars.
James had his oil, air, fuel and transmission filters replaced, his final drive oil, engine oil and tranny oil changed, plus
rear brake pads and CV boot (the latter of which were matched up on the spot by a local supplier). Jason spotted another
couple of jobs here and there and did them as he went along (leaky coolant pipe etc)
Rich got all his turbo pipes back on but spent most of the day pulling James' tranny governor. Ben spent most of the day on
Rich's car, playing with door seals..... nuff said
I managed to get my new angle drive fitted - to get the old one off required a 3' wrench and a 4' extension! (and that was
after snapping an adjustable spanner!). I now have a working speedo and #1458 is counting the miles for the first time since I
got her! I also fitted the proper metal bracket, which required disconnecting the brakce caliper (after all teh effort gone
into avoiding doing this!)
Anyway, Ben's photos are here
http://www.bevelled.net/car.html
and when I get off my lazy ass, I'll put mine on the website.
Calling all those who'd like me to re-con your lock-modules! I have two to do now, and it'd be more motivation if I had a load
to do at once. Cost is two beers next time you see me (components amount to a fiver).
Anyone interested in booking another D-day?
Martin

PS #1458 now sitting cosily in the warehouse at work. Gotsome looks driving into work today :-)
