|  Monsigna's got a poorly head (again lol) Well, it finally went again today........on the way home from a weeks holiday to Perran Sands. I had treated the origonal crack to some K-Seal, which, to be fair did a superb job for 5 months. And to be honest, the bus would have been ok now, if i hadnt tried to break the land speed record on the return journey.......   The trouble is that the bus was running superbly....and i forgot about the cracked head....not literally....and i put my foot down a little bit too far. Anywho.........the nice AA chap towed us the last 4 miles to our house.....YES 4 MILES.......if i had the strength i would have pushed him home Im going to have a good look tomorrow and access the situation. He will be repaired come hell or high water.... brean is looming........so i hope to get him sorted before the meet....fingers crossed xxxx  Hi Korky, Townace clive & Mrs Townace I had a go in clives townace....(passenger) great bus! i will post some pics as soon as i can remember my photobucket password

its gone big style this time....im guessing two more cyls have gone....as the engine almost starts...but there is massive pressure in the h/tank after each attempt to start. so its strip down time....i will post pics of my findings.
