You colour code is on the n/side door pillar near the base https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...ad.php?t=20831 The temperature gauge is useless & keeping an eye on running temp is crucial on 1.8's so https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s...ad.php?t=55585 19 then 7 are the numbers you need. Oh, & welcome |

I can guarantee that her reaction will be "what's wrong with me, have you not offered?" Then you earn brownie points as well as achieving your objective. I consider myself to be a master of female psyche - to the point that I am only threatened with diverse no more than once a month on average. |

I do find the female species to be overemotional at times, and then once I think I have them sussed; they go and move the goalposts. |

Tracey is in fact good with the spanners anyway, she used to build gearboxes for Rolls Royce, also worked for Unipart (Bristol Street Rover); so you can see I've met my match.

I am afraid you are now guilty of highlighting certain parts of female form. The spanners should be in the hand and she should be muttering something about HGF!
