Good to hear.
Which car are you bringing?

Argh

Car has sprung a coolant leak, noticed it today when i was filling it up with fuel
Will be in the garage tomorrow and hopefully a straight-forward fix.

'Kin 'ell. Is this event jinxed? I'm going to have to read the tea leaves to find out what the portents are!
If they are negative I'll have to consider whether discretion is the better part of valour and stay at home.

Yes Tony it's Jinxed

Seems we have found the source of the leak, how so much coolant can escape such a small hole is amazing. Wiring harness has worn a hole in the hard pipe to the heater up front. The excellent guys (heroes) at Phoenix Motorsports at Oswaldtwistle are in the process of making good. Can't thank them enough for fitting me in today, busiest time of the year for them.

Better to have found the leak sooner rather than later Nic. Well spotted and well done getting it fixed in time

Pretty much ready to go, just my bag to pack and screenwash to top up.
