Me, Moog and Mr Satsuma are doing fine.

 

[Bucketeer]

Pit stop time.

 

[GeordieInExile]

I really hope it's another 406 estate in the same colour.

[Bucketeer]

 

It's meant to do that.

[The Moog]

Update time.

 

Leg two complete

 

Met lovely shiter. The new* car has this slight issue

 

So trip to local 24hr Tesco (where the youth was doing handbrakes and skidz) to procure stop leak.

 

None found so second best was achieved

 

Popped to a nearby garage to see if they had anything.

 

Bollocks.

 

Still filled up with fuel

 

Trundled up to M25 and stopped at Cookham services.

 

Extra - they will have it

 

Nope. Unless you want a flashing mobile phone cover at 1am

 

Checked the motorway service station garage

 

Nope.

 

So currently letting it cool down to see howuch has worked out.

 

 

Hopefully the big yellow bus Isnt a omen.

 

M6 is shut so looks like trip up M1. Current ETA is 5 30am.

Chod speed good sirs!

 

You need a GSA engine for that Mx5, air-cooled innit

[John F]

Excellent car.

 

You get bonus points for the mixed wheels

[Schaefft]

Wow, looks like a peach. What are the plans for this one?

[Dan_ZTT]

What's the route? Am near Birmingham and have radweld, and for some unknown reason am still awake

[The Moog]

Having to take m1 as m6 is shut.

 

So far the car isn't self healing

 

 

Plans for the car are MOT first then see how it goes from there. Then mot other one and see what that fails on.

[The Moog]

So do you care that the car is leaking...no we are busy taking photos for insomniacs on a beige website....

[Cavcraft]

Where are you up to (location wise) at the moment? 

[The Moog]

Where are you up to (location wise) at the moment?

Woodall services....

 

 

It seems like the pump is only leaking when stopped and system is under pressure. If it was leaking the same amount as when we stop then the rad should be empty.

 

But so far only used about 1 litre of water.

[Bucketeer]

Many hours staring at this and occasionally glancing at the road is quite draining.

 

[paulplom]

leave the cap off and stop it pressurising. I did this with a civic and it was fine for months till I px'ed it.

[gadgetgricey]

Hope you are back safe and sound, just gone straight for a well deserved kip.

[The Moog]

Ring ring ring

 

 

 

[bub2006]

Need any assistance if passing Derby I'm available with a driveway,tools and tea. Probably home by now though!

[bub2006]

See,both posted at same time!

[beko1987]

Engine oil is thicker than water, could be a temporary* fix?

[Crispian_J_Hotson]

Tesco's had no eggs?!

[fairkens]

Awesome collection, im fucked and i spent at least part of the night in bed

 

You must be shattered

[Bucketeer]

By the time we had successfully failed to find any synthetic leak stoppy stuff anywhere we had passed all the purveyors of eggs. The car was fine in the end anyway. It didn't seem to leak much, if at all, when on the move and like me and Moog it was just when we stopped that it had a big wee.

 

 

It drove grand all the way back and we only ended up stopping a handful of times to top the water up.

 

Here's the older brother and it's new sibling.

 

 

I think Moog fell asleep as he stepped through his front door, and now me and our third member of the collection crew are ready for a good fifty or sixty winks.

 

[Twiggy]

Fascinating thread, thank you - glad you`re back safe and sound.

[Shirley Knott]

Gerrin!

 

Can't beat a UK spec Mk1, that looks like a cherished example.

Did you take Mr Satsuma's entire family with you on that trip?
