Cheryl - OK - Read "toe" for "to" and the age I left out was 2.
Actually 2 years and 3 months cause I got the bitten off pieces "age dated" by the British Museum.

Having found myself swimming next to a great t.rd while in the sea I am a little reluctant to use anything but a pool.

You should have tried to be a little bit sociable and introduced yourself. There's no need to call people names before you get to know them.

Eggy,

That was a brilliant reply, so funny.

Just put it down to 11:45 pm Corfu Time and the last glass of Red, which I know I should not have had. - Hence the typing errors.

Not yet. Last week the drop in temperature made the rad leak overnight. Not noticed until half way to Sidari and then the 'ole stop light on dashboard flashes.
Got home and plugged the hole with "gripfill" It's been ok ever since. It will have to be changed for the next service though because, unfortunately. there is now, no way the water can be drained without removing the sealant and old plug.
(73 years old and and more boring than ever!!!!!!)
And still too tight to buy a new rad.

Do you know, and this is true, I read years ago that eggs could stop radiator leaks.

Its even on Wikihelp .... http://www.wikihow.com/Seal-a-Leaking-Radiator.


I think I am living dangerously now!!!!!!!

You could try these remedies on that car you'll be hiring. I think you're gonna have problems with the radiator, as well as the tyres, exhaust..........

and.....
Just to keep the thread here.
I suppose I could also try sand as it does get into hard to reach places.

I'm sorry but I can hardly believe anyone took my earlier post seriously!!!  Of course I always shower before using a pool!

Never beleive any "post replies" that look serious. Table tennis jesting maybe.

Hi
Thanks Eggy and smiffy.  We are about to set off for Birmingham Airport and have not packed the blue Speedos on your good advice.
Will see you all when we get back.
Best wishes
