Hope you're 'lot going on' wasn't anything serios.

thanks

Just life's 'ups n downs'
I seem to be too busy putting fires out all the time, rather than getting ahead and preventing them, though many are unavoidable/beyond my control anyway
if that makes sense

Tuesday I took one astra H 1.6 estate for MOT .it passed ,no advisories

then took my omega 2.6 for MOT , it passed ,no advisories

then late afternoon I took the Astra G 1.4 for MOT ,passed, no advisories

I've been very busy recently ,so didn't prep the cars as much as i would normally .

omega has a crack in the plastic side tank of the rad by battery ,weeps slightly when hot .
I've got a new rad from partsinmotion ,just need to find time to fit it

Part 2 has more adjustment options for your ball

Going to ask the dumb DIYer question now....

What does Part 1 and Part 2 refer to? Are they some portion of building reg's?
Part 2 is water regs WRAS to do with not siphoning back into the mains water supply if water pressure fails or the tank over fills above the ball c**k
also check valves on mixer taps and outside taps etc

part 1 is not worth fitting anymore IMHO

Well I did.

in breach of WRAS

The water police will arrest you and throw you in ~~jail~~ the canal
