Re: Wheel Shake over 60mph! I have had wheels balanced though.
pick a quiet piece of road, get up to wobble speed and gently apply the brakes,if it can be felt through the peddle it is likely to point to warpped discs as you say the wheels have been balanced.it could also be dirt behind the disc holding it off its mount, running out of true,remove and clean.

Re: coolant - how much, what mixture
holds 13/14litres i think,but doing a coolant change you will prob only drain out 9/10 litres out
i do 50/50 mix so you will need just over 1x5litre antifreeze and keep the rest for compatible top up mixing.

use the throttle to empty the funnel held at header tank height,before the funnel empties come off the throttle and dip the funnel to refil and expell air,continue until temp rises to stat open temp,when ...

Re: Long turnover when cold or damp
you say you have replaced the water temp sensor,the one at the front of the head,single wire connection.did the garage bleed the coolant system after?
the (engine sensor) 2 wire connection which you mention is the fan control switch,it is a good idea to replace this,but please in my opinion use only ...

Re: silicone hose leaks, turbo clamp, & thermostat problems
they could be the answer!!you could be the test pilot on these.
there are plenty of constant pressure clips available but most of them are expensive,2 clips per hose and all that.
