Probably because the thermostat didn't work.

and 2 new Sailun Atrezzo ZSR tyres on the front of the V70, all for the grand total of £214.72 at a nearby National Tyres.  :)
Seems bloody expensive for 2 budgets, not knowing the size.  We didn't pay much more than that for expensive, top tier tyres a couple of weeks ago...

Oil and filter included in that, so probably around £150 for the tyres.

The Omega was absolutely filthy, so washed and dried it.
Got Pierre up and running and it seems to be running ok, so will stick a new cambelt on it (as the aux belt tangling around it has frayed it) then hopefully back on the road...............until next time.
