We had the doseur leak, destroying the firewall insulation. While recovering from this inconvenience, a strut leakoff return pipe failed - still waiting on a new rubber hose and strapping.
The heater matrix elbow broke irrepairably (having been fixed once before), calling for a new hose set. At the first install attempt I pinched an O-ring, causing it to lose all coolant.

Yesterday, the starter finally died. This was made more fun by a Force Ten dose of the 'flu with hayfever thrown into the mix. Combined with the leaking strut return pipe and the flat battery from my starter arcing, I had a dead unlocked car dripping LHM outside my neighbour's house. Not good!
Today it was fix time; being so rogered from illness I took the whole day to rebuild the starter. Guess what? The motor will run (albeit flat stick) with the TB completely removed!

Then it didn't restart!
