Re: starting problem :(

Might be worth trying as a last resort.

Re: RELOCATION & ORIENTATION OF AIR SUSPENSION COMPRESSOR WITH LPG SYSTEM

Re: V8 weep hole coolant leak

Just picked my car up from having the work done.

The overall cost was £1200 :-(

The seal on the end of pipe was completely corroded.
