Not quite the same as Radweld, Hunt around the local garages for a supply, it is also available on the net from a few places. I had an oil leak in a back differential caused by a seal that started as a weep and progressively got worse so my MOT man suggested Forte and it stopped the leak for another two years until I eventually changed the seals.

Car is still going well.

Quick picture update, something I do each year as well. Try and get a picture of the car with the rock of Gibraltar, so here is the A8 with the rock in the background.

Drove onto the rock and filled up the car with unleaded, had 10 miles left on the computer and it took £77 to fill the car up as 95 Ron UL was 98.4P per litre. Diesel for those interested was 92.9P per litre.

Hi Manny,
If you had gone to Morrisons in Gibraltar, you would have only paid 97.9 pence per litre.
If you are in Estepona Port and fancy a drink, go to the Irish Fiddler, which is my local. Ask the staff for Dave the boat. If I'm not there, someone can ring me and tell me you are there. My Spanish nos is 0034 663266603.
Hope to catch up
David
