  1. Hi, its Adams girlfriend, iv had a good hunt at home and i think sadly iv put the wheel nut in the bin, it was only a generic set i think (the word lazer comes to mind, it was a black box about the size of a casette with a red and black and grey label on it) so i would try to use an 11/16th socket, batter it on with a decent hammer and break them off (can you tell iv done this before?) the kits you can buy make it more difficult to remove them if the kits dont work- which from past experience they don't - alternatively a friendly engineering company can do it for you for about £20), but the spare key and all the service history is here for it, we also have some bit and pieces which have surfaced for it around the house, nothing interesting but we have n use for any of them. its so nice to know it is going to live out the rest of its days as a loved car,not in a heap at broadbent autos slowly being raped of parts :( :D

Every now and again you can see afew drops ( and a do mean drops) tricle from the overflow from the expansion tank. Where abouts is the thermosat housing? Theres seems to be abit of water sitting on top of the gearbox wonder if it could be something to do with the housing leaking?
