new coolant time for the chamade. renewed it the other week when i swapped some hoses over, but i didnt have much antifreeze at the time so its quite dilute. So ive now got some nice Renault D type equivalent antifreeze and... just popped downstairs to the chemistry labs and got a nice 20L drum of pure de-ionised water Very Happy

Just thought i'd say because i am very, very bored...

got the stuff on tap here... should be better than mains water anyway, especially the hard 50% chalk stuff we have here in the south.

It's amazing what you can get hold of in this place... ie pretty much anything. I just ask about and usually someone knows where there is a stash of what i need, or who else to ask for it.

its the extra weight of the sticker that did it.

Hmmm not long now, 40 mins till lunch, then i can go and stuff myself stupid again on subsidised hot food. Just like school dinner. I always liked school dinner, but there was never enough of it. Weren't allowed third helpings either, only seconds, they considered that greedy or something Sad
