Very timely arrival of this, I'm off to Holland on Saturday in my trusty rusty
Spit, and I'm pretty sure I have a slight leak from the rad, I was gonna bung
some Bars in it, but now I could try the Pepper instead. Must admit though
that I've never had trouble Bars in to the past.
Cheerio
Rich
ps, I know most people would say repair the rad properly before going, but
that's for wuss's who don't live dangerously!!! :-)
