So, I used tarminator soak I to grease and caked lube, agitated, spray again to rinse.
Then done the same with elbow grease.

Have been soaking the exhaust studs in wd40, all was going well until this little ****...

Waiting for a stud remover to arrive in the post.

So I'm waiting on everything to arrive to get pushed on including stud remover

Spark plugs, brake fluid and coolant are held up somewhere in England
"The parcel is stored in the parcel center. It cannot be delivered as the goods are excluded from transport by GLS terms & conditions."

In preparation I started to remove the plugs and look to have been changed same time as air filter. Could have saved £57 there tbh.

New exhaust studs, nuts, gaskets oil and filter awaiting delivery.

Started stripping down the cooling system for better access to the stud to discover a duff radiator too.

So new alloy one ordered with allegedly 30% extra cooling capacity.

Started to clean the stainless steel downpipes with the harpic pro Which has cleaned most of the crap off so i.can now tackle remainder with brass wire wheel and polishing mop.
