3rd radiator?

Almost as bad as me in the Green Beast. Since owning it I’m on my 4th :rolleyes:

Lowered vehicles :D

I had them changed in Germany three years ago and they were much cheaper but have not had a very long life so going for OEM.

Well I got to Germany. But getting out is another gamble!
Running rough at idle a scan showed the engine was running lean on both banks.
A quick inspection reveal recent rodent action with several electrical shrouds nibbled. The vacuum line to the fuel regulator nibbled through and an air leak somewhere at the back of the engine which has eluded us. :(
No trips round the ring for me. Hoping to sort something for my trip to spa.

That's crazy. Only there and the car has been set upon. Martens strike again.

That's such a shame - hope you get it sorted soon Mike
