Just got back.... Nellie lost all her coolant after the first stage at Longleat.... temp was fluctuating up and down and was also steam at the start at Bath....didn't do it at home !!....so we pulled over Carol and John stopped to give us some water.... let it cool down... refilled and decided to go back to our hotel... took a steady 52 mile run back and the temperature stayed perfect !!!!!!!..... took it out for a thrash this afternoon and didn't have a problem !....... must have had an air lock in the system after fitting the new radiator a couple of weeks ago, although did run the electric pump whilst filling but I guess it didn't work !

So Thanks to Carol and John for letting me have their drinking water and going thirsty all day !!

Nellie has been severely repremanded.

And just to make you all smile..... at 7:00 on Saturday morning... went out to start Nellie and get the heater going to prevent the screen misting up.... turned on the heater fan and was covered in Niger Seeds !!... it appears that a mouse has taken the seeds from the bird feeder got into Nellie and deposited them in the heater for his winter stash !!..... oh how we laughed !!!...little git !
