Cut sections out the Skoda splitter so tomorrow the garage can get at the screws holding the bumper on,
ready for the rad to go in.
I also took the throttle body off for a good cleaning, took the foam filter out the air box for cleaning
and replaced it with a ph1 paper element.
Get one of these then put an extra layer of clear over it to seal it in,
they come in a variety of colours.

I had no clue what I was doing when I started to spray my badges,
but with research on here and a few f*ck ups, I got them all finished to a standard I was happy with.
These's nothing like f*cking one of them up 3 times and having to start all over again
to teach you how it's done properly. :o...
Make sure you lacquer them in a very well ventilated area,
I did my first badge on the back porch with the door open and I still got a splitting headache that lasted all night,
so I did the rest outside as I was using Halfords lacquer and it stinks.
Solvent highs are horrible and hurt like...
I can switch the filter over in under a minute, it's a piece of piss,
I just don't want them thinking the CS lads are a pain in the arse.
I'll wing it on the day, if they seem in a good mood i'll ask,
if they seem like they just want to get through as many cars as they can in the most...
I saw a blue 172 today with white grills, white fog surrounds and a white rear bumper insert,
it looked like a tube of f*cking aquafresh.
The sad thing was it was a really nice car apart from the toothpaste theme. :dapprove:
I take it they won't let me change my air filter between runs?
I'm using a cylindrical foam Pipercross filter in a V6 airbox,
i'm about to clean it so i've got a ph1 paper filter to go in it for a few days,
i'd be interested to see which one works better.
If i'm not completely skint after my...
Don't worry lads, i'm getting a new rad fitted on Tuesday at a local French car specialist,
it'll be brand new and it'll cost me £245 fitted and they're giving me a courtesy car so I can get to work Tues/Wed.
Hopefully it'll all be sorted for Saturdays RR day.
Pain in the f*cking arse to be...
Right i've just got to work in Stratford Upon Avon and there's steam pissing out the front of it,
i'm hoping it's just leaking fluid boiling off on the rad, there is a halfords here,
is there anything I can get that'll bodge fix it, and where the hell would I put it because as far as I can tell...
Nice one, i'd really appreciate so help and advice from someone that knows what to look for,
do you wan't me to come to you if you've got the space at yours to take the bumper off?
If not i've got a driveway with plenty of space if you want to come to mine?
I don't mind either way, what ever's...
Cheers for the offer mate. :)
I'll more than likely be working Tuesday, I don't normally get home until 6:30pm.
I'm going to have a go at taking the bumper off on Monday,
i'll have a good look round the rad to see if I can confirm if it's just a split at the bottom of that pipe.
If I can cut...
Ok, if it gets worse and I run out of coolant before Monday i'll bung some water in it.
I just hope I can sort the leak out on Monday, otherwise they might not let me run the car at the rr day
it's it's pissing fluids everywhere.
It's not a massive leak, i've only seen a small puddle under the rad twice in the last week.
If all else fails can I pour water in the header tank to make what coolant I have go further until Monday?
You make it sound so easy. lol
I'm working all weekend but i'm off Monday so i'll have a go a sorting it then, i've got a 5litre bottle of coolant in the car
as i've been topping it up more and more over the last week, as the header tank always seems to be below minimum.
I'll go to Renault and...
Sh*t this is getting too complicated for someone with sod all mechanical knowledge like me.
I take it I have to bleed the system so that when I fill it back up with coolant there's no air in it,
also what do I need to do with that top bolt, take it off or just loosen it
and how do I know when...
I'm in Coventry lads, about a mile or two from the M6/M69,
and about a mile or two away from the M6 Ricoh Arena.
As far as I can tell it's only leaking from a rubber pipe, it might just need any split at the bottom cutting off then refitting.
I've never taken the bumper off, but i've read...
