sorry i was under the impression the md 2 an the md 11 was the same engine, there isnt any mechanism its just a bypass port. anyway will consider myself better advised

[ QUOTE ] Don't know Mike, but we spent a year going to the Med and back after that. Bill. [/ QUOTE ] What i was trying to explain was that the thermostat on the md 2 isnt your run of the mill stat, when the engine first starts or until it reaches its running temp 60c if i remember...

Is it as soft as the Optima ? If it is i might give it a try as the Optima i have being using is superb, I cannot fault its performance, but also very expensive...

No

There are occasions when you just have to pick em up and sling em somewhere. I think a lab may be a bit big. .......................................................................... I laughed at that, but it is ever so true... ]

Running a stanley knife along the line before sawing helps to prevent the splintering.

Hi, I have the 608 as recomended at the time by Seateach who said the next model up would have being a unneccasary expense fitted on my Sabre 27. Its being on there seven yrs now with no problems at all, but if you do decide to fit it I would recomend fitting a diverter wheel at the mast top...
