Hi Doug,
No offense taken. It was just a thought that I had, and figured I'd ask the

Anyone in the UK know where I can get one of the above?

expansion tank from the radiator. I think I have trimmed mine for the last
time, as it has split again.

Guys
My spit could do with a decoke of the head but I'm not keen on the volume of
work required according to the Haynes manual.
Has anyone any experience of the above. The claim is to decoke the head by
using a spray continuously into the inlet. Claims some impressive results.

I have only been pootling around town in the Spitfire during recent
weeks, and I have not noticed any significant loss of power, but I have

Hi Listers,
I have got to drill new holes for my rear bumpers - I have the rear
holes - just not the ones on the sides.
