Re: [doc] Warning!! Check your coolant hoses!!!!! (sorry, long)

["Claire Usher" <claire_usher71@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

ah yes, mine is the 'green stripe' one. Phew!!  :o)

I brought my old clutch home as a bit of a "this is another crap thing
off Flopsy" sort of souvenier - Andy and Tony did have a few, what can
only be described as "totally Essex" terms for the state of the old
clutch - terms that I dont think can be repeated on this newsgroup,
but suffice to say it wasnt in particularly good condition ;o)

Cheers
