Struggling

Really not going very far fast.

We have been away on the Black Isle for most of the week, so little progress, but the last two days in the garage have yielded little except a headache.

Looking on the positive side we have now finished fixing the battery cables we have also fitted the radiator back on, this time the correct way around. But stuck on

(a) accelerator stop bolt...could get a longer one, but fitted the one they sent?

(b) bottom hose connection (seems to be the wrong shape)

(c) tried out our new £16 rivnut tool, so that we could put in one of the mounts for the metal cooling pipes, only to find it doesn't work at all, and that I have lost the receipt (argh!)

The one other job we did today was to change the water temp sensor, in the engine block, only to forget that one of the electrical connections needed to go over the threaded section before we tightened it (needless to say we put locking material on it as well so that made it harder to get out when much later in the day we realised our problem)

Went in a little dispirited - need the gunners to beat Real Madrid away in the week to cheer us up (we live in hope!)
