Glad you both got home ok and she didn't overheat, really random place for that to have pin-holed in the rubber (no pun intended!), no probs at all, amazing stuff the old insulation tape!!!

had a nice run, was good to gett down and around the coast, thanks Leeroy for the tour there!!! As you've all said gutting about the weather but i still enjoyed it, don't drive the car much so its always a joy whatever the weather!!!

Apologies for my ******* FMIC coupling and the ******* clamps that blew off twice, gonna have to look into that maybe as mshowells suggested get rid of the join and and weld instead and do away with the clamps altogether (thanks Ty for the borrow of ya new WRC clamps- even though they couldn't cope with my muscle!!cheers bud.)

Got mega pissed off with the traffic on the way home, so made myself a little diversion and turned up for Gelli-aur, into Ffairfach (by Llandeilo), then onto Bethlehem, a4069 briefly then onto Llandeusant, Usk Resevoir and home, cracking run love them roads, FMIC pipework behaved and took a pasteing, and as a bonus NO sheep were harmed throughout the day!!!

Cheers Ty for organising, especially for being extra thoughtful of my needs and getting us in for two, yes TWO Mcdonalds stop offs, both of which i haven't had the pleasure of experiencing before, they will be going on the list of my ''Top 10 Mcdonald's in Wales''!!!

Catch ya'all soon,

Rob

Rob, spray hairspray inside the silicone hose before sliding it onto the FMIC pipework and it will hold, the hairspray acts like glue
