Took the car for a good run today. The water level settled down at half way up the swirl pot so my mind is at rest, thanks.
Fitted a heater cable and pedal rubbers- think I will put a spot of glue on them as they are a bit loose. Changed the gearlever knob as it had the wrong pattern on it- TC I think and a bit confusing when I first drove the car.
Got a thumbs up from an MGB and Reliant Robin drivers on the 10 mile trip. The good weather has brought them out.
Totally chuffed with the car.
I will take the advice from JB and torque the head bolts and check the valve clearances as it is a bit tapetty.
The colour by the way is Laystall Green which I understand was a Lotus Racing colour in 1960`s, in real life it is a bit less Kermit the Frog and has grown on me.
