Yeah i was : :o ). Must get my car out more and get some of them artistic shots. One other thought, with all the press talk, it just goes to show, that even the squeaky clean Tiger's have a bit of a wild side.

Hi Jay
Why do you have to tie your wrists to the door handle, doesn't that make driving a little tricky :)) ?

Hi Greg Starting to sound like you have a thermostat problem, but could be water pump, could be a blocked radiator. so many options. I think, you have to go back to basics, does temp rise from cold and then drop when stat opens? Is rad same temp top and bottom? Are any of hoses colder than other's ?...

HI, happy to help. I live 6 miles from southampton, but in the long run, think you would be better off looking for a Tiger, as the cost of what your trying to do is £££££££. Any way i am allways happy to talk Tiger. Harry.
