Roland is now up and running. Awaiting the new rad and to sort out the fanny mould and it will be fine. Sounds awfully quiet too.

Well Hooli came up the other day to sort a fuse box issue. Was rectified by moving the wires to a blank socket. Yesterday evening this happened

Lexus is200 (I think) front seat fitted. Was free for collection and the electric functions are wired in too for a full range of adjustment. rather comfy I must say.

Aye a dodgy headlight earth (crimp had failed to grip properly) had made it melt the box around a headlight fuse. That & taking 1/2" (actual measurement!) play out of no3 valve made it run a bit* better.

The seat does look comfy.

I thought I did but a second time nipping up isn't a bad idea.
