I am an Activaist-v6 and a 2.1Estateerr

I wonder if it might be possible to, when the RPM hit the red line, to make the RPM gauge colour switch from green to red?

Now that would be cool James I believe some modern ones do do something similar...

The Noble M12 GTO was the first I heard of to do it back when I was about 16.

A wake up wash always make you feel better....

Bu##er.....I have a leaking coolant expansion bottle !......it was new stock from Citroen last year

[Deanxm]

As you say Alasdair, bu**er

That one had a remarkably short life....

Time for a nice ally one then?

[Stickyfinger]

Not if I can get this switched for free Jim.....Citroen should cover it

[Stickyfinger]

Citroen are exchanging the part under warrantee. That warrantee will only run till the 12 months (from) purchase is up, eg 3 Months

Excellent news Alasdair... That's a lovely result

Attempting a repair......................groves cut for a gasket material/adhesive.

Holes drilled for rivets, this will not be very pretty

How about some plastic weld?
I've used similar stuff (A Marley product) to weld plastic water pipes together quite successfully.

I'm watching with great interest Alasdair

I've used similar stuff (A Marley product) to weld plastic water pipes together quite successfully.

I have used that stuff for years now, the melted/dissolved "edges" become very brittle with this type of high carbon content plastic.
As this is an edge to edge joint and is effected by expansion/pressurised, it will just crack apart because the layer "melted" by the solvent is very thin.

This is proven by these things always failing at the seam.

Shame. The pipes I have welded with it were not subject to heat or pressure - not much anyway.

I have some here that my son is hoping will repair his fairing from when he dropped his motorbike.
