Ah OK, misunderstood you

Do you really think their parents would try to get them to behave properly? They're from an Irish traveller gang, where criminality is the way of life, passed down from father to son.

I went Dover-Calais on Sunday 9 Aug no particular problem. Came back Friday 21st and got a text from DFDS saying get to the port 120 mins before sailing time (there was rain forecast) and with a link that didn't work. I took that with a pinch of salt and got there 90 mins before. Approaching...

Update - I'm still getting night usage.

Just got back from a couple of weeks in France. On the ferries, many passengers don't wait for the announcement to return to vehicles, they congregate round the stairs when only halfway across the channel. What's the matter with these people? They surely don't imagine they'll disembark any...

Support for the guy is like criminals crying foul when they're investigated by the police.

I heard a story about a guy who went into a public toilet to take a dump. As he sat down a voice nextdoor said "Are you all right?" He said "Yes I suppose so". The voice then said "What have you been up to?" He said "Just the usual things, why?" thinking what's going on here, am I being...

It's anybody's fault apart from Arday himself

I will. Can you name a brand, in case the label doesn't say?

Done it, but it was a PITA. It turned out the lug on the back has a hole same as the one on the front (can't tell from the pics) with an M6 bolt. The trouble is, even if you know, it would be all but impossible to get a spanner on it in that location. And if you did manage that, getting the bolt...

Thanks for that, great! The hook on the neck isn't the problem, it holds a pipe from the coolant header tank. It's the bit you can see at the bottom of the pic that's doing it. It looks like I need to push the tank away 15mm or so, then to the right, before pulling it out. I'm not sure the...

No, it's not that easy I'm sorry to say. There are several of those types of fixings for the wheel arch liner, which had to come off to access the tank. Even if it were that type, there's no way I can see to get at it to remove it, but I'd most likely have broken it with my efforts. PS if the...

No cure so far. I had another go at removing the tank but no success. I can see the point where it's attached, but can't tell whether there's a bolt or what. Pulling the tank out, up or sideways with plenty of force doesn't free it. It seems an odd design, with the 2 bolts on the front some sort...

Depends on the relief valve setting. Is there any legible information on the data plate?

I siphoned the water out, pretty sure as near empty as practical. A few more bits of black came out with it! Added the vinegar, no results so far but I'll follow your procedure. Thanks
