AX Update

Well, it is a banger, so life would be dull if their hadn't been an event!
Following my first puncture in about 17 years I've now had my second debris strike within a year - Remember the road crap (I never did see what it was) that damaged the belt and pulled the wiring off the fuel cut of solenoid on the Ligier? That was my first. Now my second, a huge stone took out the radiator on the AX. In true banger bodger style I plugged it with exhaust putty to get me home (and to work and back for a few days - with regular top ups) until I could source a new radiator. Now I am £66 lighter and strangely the car is lighter too. The old radiator was steel and looked like it had seen better days anyway, the bottom looked about rusted out. And it was heavy with sludge and crap. The new one is plastic and aluminium and weoghs about half as much. So not only do I have efficient cooling and heating again, but I save fuel (as weight equals fuel) into the bargain.
More updates as they occur.
