Hi Baz,
 i cant believe you've blown a rad on your new car i guess thats why you need the new stat? your scorp should already have the re-designed cap on right?
hope everything else is ok with it!
Kind Regards

Yes it does have the new cap but the stat was the one thing I ws waiting on. It just ran out of time!

Hey Baz,
what do you want for 10 quid 
Nah seriousely mate i had no idea. The only reason i sold it was because it wouldn't fit the 2.0
I trust you have another one stashed away in the cavern of yours 
Take care mate

When I was a lad, you could take a girl out all night on 10 quid and get a cab home!!
The cooler pipes are covered in grease and so attract the dirt. They were cleaned and greased the day I got the car and are OK.
