January 9th, 2022 Spend: £101.19 New year, time for action. Having had a tiny coolant leak for ages it was time to sort it out. But how the heck do you get the nose cone off when the radiator is part of it? Turns out it relatively easy. Just undo the top 3 screws on the duct and the 3 bolts holding the cone itself in place. Access to the top 2 bolts was a challenge, but with the help of @Nemesis quickly sorted. The number of joins is incredible, so instead of just tightening the jubilee clips, I'm going to replace the lot. January, 13th, 2022 Spend: £4.94 Because the top two bolts are so difficult to access, I wanted to replace them with two Dzus sliding fasteners, just like on my previous Westfield. But because the right hand side is complete blocked by the alternator, a different access method is needed. January 16th, 2022 Spend £0.00 Whilst working in the area, I noticed that my vacuum advance was separated from the distributor, so I found some alternative screws that fitted and refit it. January 17th, 2022 Spend: £14.63 As I had to remove the alternator for access, I discovered that my belts were long past their best, so I replaced them as well January 23rd, 2022 Spend: £82.92 Bought these ages ago, but never got round to fitting them. Until I was "pressured" by @blueassfly as he was after my 7" chrome bowls and anti-rollbar. Didn't take long to fit them and it transforms the front again January 29th, 2022 Spend: £0.00 A while back, @Nemesis was looking for some recommendations on garages that could rewire his car for him after he suffered a melting wiring loom. As a rewire of my own car is something I'd like to do too, I thought it was going to be good to practise on someone else's car first . So today, he came with his trailer and dropped off his car in exchange for mine... See you again in a couple of weeks! Last month: £ 3057.70 This month: £ 203.68 ----------+ Total: £ 3261.38
