April 2021

1st

Now that the lockdown allows me to drive Yoko, I've taken her off SORN and have taxed her to drive on the road again.

5th

Yoko is going well :-)

17th

Discovered a coolant leak today :-( The only hose that I have yet to replace had split and was spraying coolant all over the bonnet :-(

Access to the old hose was really hard and the spring clips were really difficult to remove. It's quite a long way down, under these two hoses.

I've fitted a temporary piece of pipe using stainless steel hose clips, which are much easier to fit and remove.

The old hose was literally crumbling to pieces and broke into bits as it was removed. I'll order a moulded, silicon hose very soon.

18th

Ordered the right hose from Autolink.

23rd

Fitted the hose from Autolink, which was a nightmare to fit as the internal diameter was too small really. Got it on eventually though and used stainless steel jubilee clips.

Also followed this process to fix the issue where Yoko nearly stalls when I pull up at junctions and traffic lights.
