131,000 Miles now folks,

I replaced the radiator, compressor and condenser at 127,000.

I've been taking pics along the way. I hope to find time to start a new thread to post my efforts in the near future.

Best wishes to all..

    Keep up up the good work Henry! My son has a 1.4 Mk6 Fiesta for  which I'm sole mechanic-in-chief, and I'm finding your 'journal' invaluable. 👍
