Has anyone used citric acid in diluted form for radiator internal cleaning? Does it work well?

Re: Brake shoes for E20

I had the same issue as classiclife for the past couple of weeks. Seems resolved now though.

Re: Petrol leak by connection to carburettors

Fit and forget, no further potential for leaks.

Re: Drop link wanted urgently

Hi Al.
The links I found are regrettably nothing at all like yours.
