The Good News is..................
 

........................ The Flying Banana passed her MOT.

The bad news she has dumped all her coolant in the workshop. The radiator has split yet again. This will be her 4th radiator in the 11 years of ownership. The garage have located one but it will not be delivered till tomorrow.

Still it’s not as if I’m going anywhere soon. And I have the Bear to fall back on.

That's good news on the MOT but a shame the rad's gone. Much better that it happened at the workshop than on the road Bob.

Indeed. Doesn't like travelling at less than 69.9mph Bob! [only kidding]

Hope all is well with you Bob? You kindly transported some bits from Weymouth to the Longbridge event for me to collect a few years back.

What a run of bad luck Bob..
I've never heard of a car having 4 failed radiators before..

take care Ian

And all of them have split.

Banana has to be different.

Hi Bob.
Congrats on the pass, what is going on with the radiator ? how come they keep splitting, surely it as to be poor rad or some sort of pressure.

Oh dear didn't know all had split
I think I'd be looking for a reason that so many have failed, or is it a common fault on 1.8 turbo engines?

If it had to happen again Bob at least it happened in the right place at the right time.Hope all goes well with the replacement.

I’ll be asking the garage tomorrow what they think is the cause.

congrats on the pass Bob, Im sure you will sort the rad out
