Goes for months OK and then decides to dump a couple of litres of coolant out in a rush for no apparent reason. 2 - freeing the transfer box high/low and diff-lock lever as it doesn't seem to have been used very much and 3 - fitting a new ACE block filter, in the hope of curing an intermittent fault that puts on either a yellow or red warning light (goes out once car has been turned off and then restarted). While talking about the state of D2 chassis, the owner had a look at mine and he said he has seen a lot worse! He continued by saying that you can now get either a rear-half chassis or a full new one. Depending on the outcome of resolving the above issues I might look into a chassis upgrade. Mole

He also had the front wings off and replaced the raised air intake pipe as it had rotted. Andy - Thanks for the info about the gasket. I will let the garage know and it might give them a pointer. Usually with cars if they are not behaving themselves they are moved on rather quickly, however, the D2 is such a great car to drive that I cannot bear the thought of parting with it. I will persevere and hope to get these niggles sorted - hopefully before the trip to Ireland in July/August!! Mole
