Thanks nick, I'm going to see if I can just weld new nuts on to the plate today. Got around the need for a flex headed spanner with the trusty angle grinder :D

I don't think I'll be able to attend the hillclimb as I have gearbox problems and no time to fix it. I'll probably still come along with a friend as a spectator though.

So who is coming along to this? will be good to finally meet a few of the newer guys from down here, although my sw20 wont be ready, suprise suprise, looks like the hyandai comes out to play again.
 
Also, I have got a Contour camera with a windscreen mount if someone will let me attach it to their car to get some footage of the day?

I'm still really considering coming along. I took her for a trip down to Gepps Cross (the Kart Mania) from my house (Hancock Road) on the weekend, once I got home I could hear coolant boiling, so she's not 100% yet. I'll prolly still come down just for the meetup, but don't be surprised if I arrive spewing coolant everywhere ;P

I'm still VERY keen. And Alison is planning on coming too. Might see if I can put the new rotors on the day before.

What happened to doing it GP weekend? If you want a hand a can help if you want mate?
 
 
Purplefox23 - whats happening with the car man, doesn't sound good, have you taken it to a radiator joint to have a look at it? did they bleed it right?

Purplefox: the SW turbos boil their coolant after a good boost, that's convection pushing the water out of the turbo after turning the engine off, and the resulting temperature just boils it up. It is possible to stop this by disconnecting the water lines to the turbo and joining them together, but it is not advisable unless you have an aftermarket turbine or if you are happy with the risks associated with oil-only cooling :)

It's been back and forth to mechanics, no idea what's wrong with it. I don't know much about engines which doesn't help. so far I've only taken it to a 'general' mechanic because they are close to my work. Ive had it pressure tested which came out fine apparently, I gave him the technical manual for bleeding the system, but he didn't get much air out. Most recently I had an auto electrician check my thermo fan's which weren't working.  They've wired up one of the fans to a manual switch, which has helped a lot, but still not 100%. Im at a loss what to do now, and I don't have the money to chuck at it in hope for a fix.
 
I should really start my own thread up rather than keep going off topic in these meetup threads :P

Ah. I just assumed bubbling coolant to be overheating. I live in Hope Valley, the Grand Junction Road end of Hancock Road, I'd be glad to get some help, or at least some pointers at what to do, haha.
