Thanks guys, seems I need to aim for about 900CCA is that right?

Anyone care to comment on location needs of the thermo fan thermostat thermocouple - say that 10 times quickly!!

Am keen to tighten up the hose clamps and get this front bit of the coolant system signed off.

Actually on that, can anybody suggest a simple way for me to locate and fix my 38mm diameter s/steel tube I have used to connect between radiator hoses.

Am thinking if I locate upper and lower tubes in at least one place, vibration, rotating parts and any other malfunctions shouldn't cause a green spillage!

How have others fixed their steel tubes?

Cheers
