Lots of love is all they need.

The Love I'd need to give GV51 would pay for your continental road trip twice over. If I had the space, time and energy it'd be different.

Underneath her yesterday removing the decat, oil seems to be coming from one of the hoses between the filter and the cooler, would have been an easy fix for someone - never mind, I'm making more from the parts than I'd taken for the complete car.

The hoses are a weak link in the system, I think it was a hose letting go that killed Smokey's first track zs.

I was hoping that MJS would find this and replace them but he was concerned about the possible contamination of the cam belt and felt that should be changed and to be fair it was almost due. The car wasn't worth the money spending on it but would have been worth doing DIY.

Car is still a runner if anyone wants a cheap project.
