Saves titting about putting a tent up too, seeing as it'll likely be getting dark when I get up there

These things always feel never ending don't they?!

I wish we had checked it before, but there were no leaks from it so we assumed it was ok. Must be the impeller has seized or broken or something.

Is it possible to camp at this one? I'm not sure that a 3:30 start did me much good.

Bad news- the car overheated again today. Good news- it's not the head gasket Bad news- it's the water pump. Good news- the one on my old block is sat in the shed!

For some reason I thought this was much further away than JapShow. I'll definitely be up for it

I'll do you a deal Gambit... If you come down to this, I'll make the trip up to Japfest 2, if there's enough interest, and JapShow finale (16 hours worth of driving) and I'll even do it in the Legacy!

I really enjoyed today! Apologies for the Ford again... Although it's testomony to what a nice, genuine bunch you are. I hope a few of you can come down for simply japanese (I can actually prove I own a subaru then!)

We're all set- just about to leave. I'm really excited now! Despite not actually being able to drive the GTB :(

You can buy a 5litre bottle at Tesco for a couple of quid

Believe it or not she has already suggested that! If I can find a whiteboard pen, we can make it the ImprezKa

Cheers Gambit, much appreciated. I'll put a couple of spare SOC stickers I have on it

Oh no, I just realised I won't be able to get in early not being on the stand! What's the best way to get in without be held up for ages in traffic? Anyone got a couple of spare seats me and my girlfriend can jump in if we leave her car outside?

I'd imagine that would only happen if there was coolant going into the oil? Which, at this point, I'm lucky enough not to have. It really does just need to be a quick fix to get me through its MOT in a couple of weeks, then I can do something about getting it sorted properly.

It's looking more upsettingly likely that my car isn't going to make it. However, I can bring my girlfriend's KA up so at least I can actually get there and enjoy everyone else's nice, running, cars. I'll know for definite tomorrow though.

No signs of any coolant being burnt, just air being pushed into the system. Hopefully this means it's a small enough failure to get away with some sealant type stuff until I get the MOT out of the way and can get a new gasket in!

Doesn't seem that bad to be honest, it's just letting air in... There's no leaks as such. I might try no thermostat beforehand

Must be the head. ******! Anyone had any experience with that headgasket fixing stuff?

Well, left the car at home all day again and I've been told the air lock has now gone... I'm a bit nervous about driving it to be honest

Again, you can try sending Graham a message?

It's a yes! If you send TLag a message on here, he'll be able to tell you when/where/how is best to collect it

Try importcarparts.co.uk they have most things at pretty good prices.

My thoughts exactly. Hopefully I'll get a reply tomorrow and be able to let you know!

Don't hold your breath or get too excited but the UKLegacy guys have a couple of spare ones floating about- I've asked if they could donate one to a man in need, although I don't know if it means you'd have to go on their stand? But they're just as nice a bunch as on here!
