Little update. I have finally got round to fitting roof bars, which I'm hoping will come in handy soon. I found some i the back of the garage, which I didn't think would fit, but with some persuasion, I got them on.This has saved me buying a new pair, which means I can finally get a much needed CB radio.

So a short update. Unfortunately, it seems that my head gasket is on the way out. I've had hot running issues for a while, and the garage today diagnosed the source of the problem is likely to be a knackered head gasket, as that would cause most of the coolant to be pushed out through the header tank overflow. So this is looking like a potentially big bill, unless changing a head gasket on a M13 engine is a relatively simple DIY job with standard tools?
It's not all bad news though. It's just had all the oils changed and there is something interesting happening with the front bumper, which is going to replace the lower front black plastic section. Watch this space!
And a little shot from the other day driving home from a mates house.

Cheers Gus! The photo is not too bad when you consider the forum reduces quality and I only took using the camera on my iPhone.
Here's another couple that I don't think are too bad!
