More work done Yesterday!
Took out the puny 340 cold cranking amps Battery
fitted a 500CCA one, cleaned the contacts and earthing strips- now starts much better
Insulated the fuel lines to and from the pump a bit- aiming to keep the veg oil (30% now) viscous on the colder mornings
Used the last of my pipe insulation to put in a test piece of lower grill block
Got a slight temp increase on the gauge- really need to get a thermostat and do it (probably next weekend!)
Also finally swapped over the other 195/50/15 tyres I had onto the rear- taking off the largerr and heavier 205/55's in the process
