This will be of no comfort whatsoever, but if I can do 2 coolant changes without creating an airlock, then I'm sure you wouldn't have made one either :lol:
Heater control valve

Hahaha just take a second and actually try and visualise fish leaping out of a heater matrix sorry if it sounds ridiculous bit that tickled me 
Haha.
Dunno if I can be bothered dealing with the heater tomorrow, but if I'm at a loose end I'l get it done as winters coming, though I've absolutely no hesitation to warm her up with the right foot!
Plenty of jobs to do That's what you get when you ignore a car for a few months.
Need to get my hands on a universal steering joint as the gear linkage is a bit saggy too, I've a pas leak to find, a cv joint to replace due to a cracked reluctor ring (I'm tempted to disable abs in all fairness as I intend to rip the dash out to fix a blown bulb)
In all she's not bad though. Bodywork is now good, though there's some corrosion at the rear that could turn serious, but the vandal damage is all gone.
She severely needs better brakes. The current discs and pads are awful.
Most of these are going to be solved as and when I can be bothered, as MOT standard is of only second priority. Most active work is going into smoke limitation and, predominantly boost control. I do beleive that the time for planning solutions is a bit 'last year' so I'm just going to get on with it I think. *rubs chin and thinks*
The problem with ohms law is everything on the triangle must balance out and that's not the way I work.

I've not got a lot on so I think I'l look at the coolant and do the brakes tomorrow, as I want her ready to move at the drop of a hat. Never had a problem changing the coolant, so I think this is a one off.
Got a few of the more tedious jobs done today though
