You forgot "dodgy coolant plumbing added during back-street LPG install".  ;D

The options should give you the clue that coolant can be seen dripping from bellhousing

OK... Voted. I reckon Kevin's right and it's something to do with the LPG plumbing where the HBV pipe has been cut.

I also think it's something really simple, like a pinch in the hose where it's tightened up ;)

Core plug. 100:1 odds should make something on my quid! ;D ;D ;D

If it's a 98' would be tempted with core plug.

My LPG coolant plumbing to hbv is leaking.

But I had nothing to do with coolant plumbing on the rusty bullet. Was in the next county by then.  :P

How much did you put on? The odds have plummeted now to just 20:1. I suspect the Boy is placing bets on core plug with another bookie just in case. I have set up a trust fund for my winnings just ion case. ;D ;D

I'm up for it if it isn't a million miles away.  I'm guessing it will have to be after Newent though...
