That last picture, the hose coming out of the cooler has a jubilee clip on it, would it have been like that originally?
No, but then that's part of the water heater not the car and the water heater we nicked from a 2013 Marussia so....... for reference you don't generally have exposed rubber heater hose as part of the engine installation and certainly not bits of it that exit the floor at 45 degrees to the motor laugh

What jubilee clip?

Edit: never mind, I see it (I think)

Edit 2: Escy, is that an attempt to score a cheap point? If so, poor show.

Fantastic thread!
I am attempting to make a hydraulic system on my car using some savaged / grabbed from auction parts. Would it be possible to ask you for some advice?
Cheers

A few slow fly bys from Chicago - https://youtu.be/ICNx5lXVo6w

There was a gentlemans agreement on a 100kph limit hence it not being anywhere near lit! laugh
God I'd forgotten how gutteral and raw a F1 V10 sounds.

Even on phone speaker you can still 'feel it' in the pit of your stomach.

In the 80s turbo era, people played around with exotic fuels too. Many ended up on Toluene, which needs to be pre heated to >70degC before it can even be vapourised.

Never mind the fact that it's REALLY REALLY (properly) bad for you.
