Keep well.

With thoughts like that, you cannot be a real Suffolk man.

Whereabouts in Suffolk are you Norman - almost Norfolk by any chance?

The amount of people I know that use this style of rug for working on their cars is staggering.

If it doesn’t leak then repair it. Rad makers can provide you with new inners to fit. Not sure if its cost effective to do so for a k series turbo because as you know the water needs to be well cooled or risk losing the head gasket, but it is sure worth having a look into it if during the present times, you are suffering a Simple Red time of Money to Tight to Mention, like most of us.

Always good to know people like that are still about. In this instance it is the A/C rad/condenser and it leaks
