Thanks for that chaps. Looks like rubber grease is less unusual than I thought. How can you make it to 40 years old, spend probably 25 of those messing with old cars and not notice rubber grease for sale in motor factors. It's one of life's little mysteries I guess.
The car's been a lot nicer since you re-mapped it Brian - I took the bumper off the other evening which was when I found that the intercooler and radiator were bent. Bending them back as far as I dared and re-seating the plastic pipe has reduced its smoking habbit a bit, but tomorrow's efforts will hopefully finish the job and I'll find out just how much better it drives with the re-map.
Annoyingly the car in the scrapper today also had a fractured EGR valve bracket so mine's still cable-tied at the mo. That's a job for another day!
Cheers for now!
