Right, I'll see what I can do about that - good to know! I'll see if I can get hold of some CT100 silicone.

That's a good idea!!

Yay!
Is it all ok now that you have used it for a while? No overheating or coolant loss?

Here is the before picture, front plug on the left.
Think I need a new set.
I gave them a good clean with a wire brush, some wet and dry and set the gap. Then it was time for a road test,I like to think there was more power, certainly it seemed to rev better. I will how it goes for a week or so and pick up some new plugs.

Grabbed some spare coolant and oil which I can decant into some more suitable sized bottles for taking with me as well as all the other bits you need for driving through Europe.
Still need to:
- Wire up coolbox
- Wire up inverter
- Re-spray and re-fit roofrack
- Put tent on roofrack
... then we are off on Sunday night to reach Folkstone by 4:30am with plans of getting a 7am start through France.
