Re: is there a list of recommended campsites?

Re: Charity LCA (Low Coolant Alarm) fitting

Car was on drive which was fortunate, but yes they did bleed the system amd the guy was telling me about importance of removing all the air. Then ran the engine for a good while until warmed up to ensure bottom hose was getting warm and coolant was circulating, so hopefully done a reasonable job. Te...
