My three concerns were:
1) Saving money (if the radiator should come out, then *I* would take it
out and put it back in).
2) Saving time and effort (if the radiator didn't have to come out, then
I wouldn't waste time doing it - or let someone charge me for doing it).
3) If I could easily do it (successfully) myself - then even better.
Well, as usual, I have run out of time on this one. The first attempt
at the weekend was a failure as it appears I needed a bigger, stronger,
hotter flame.
Now, with our six hour relay on Sunday I can't afford to have the repair
fail on me, nor have I got the time to "suck it and see" if I can do it
properly this time.
So I will hand it (and a small portion of my wallet) over to an expert
somewhere - we ain't talking Fort Knox money here - and pick it up ready
to race confidently (blind faith just about covers the way I rely on my
poor old car at the moment when racing, anyway:-)
Thanks for all the suggestions on and off list.
Next time, eh? If I had an extra weekend then I would have done it
myself.
