    Not sure if oil in coolant or not

    Do you know when was the coolant was last changed? I've found coolant looses it's colour and becomes murky looking after a long time. May be worth flushing the system and putting fresh coolant in if you haven't already done so.

    Wiper bottle motor

    I haven't done a K11 one. I did buy an after market one for a classic I have and if the washers are not used for a while the motor sticks and needs freeing off. I now always use ready mixed washer fluid as it has less impurities than tap water that can congeal and corrode the pump.

    Inner Arch Corrosion

    Hi Yaffacake As long as there aren't any holes should be ok. When you can do clean and rust treat the areas, waxoyl from the other side if possible. Prevention can be better than the cure. Keeping the rust at bay is a challenge.

    Radiator Brand?

    Hi I haven't any experience of the different makes. It probably depends how much you wish to spend. Carparts4less you can pick up a rad for less than £38 if you use the discount code.

    PollyMobiles Rebuild

    I use one of these on my old Morris. You can have a fuse link so you don't lose radio codes. Though if you try so start without tightening the screw you blow the fuse anyway!!

    Washing advice car wash or by hand and scratching issues?

    Hi KBM I'm not a fan of cleaning cars and normally use the local hand car washes around £8-£10 for the outside. There are many waterless sprays available where you spray on to a panel, work around with a micro fibre cloth then polish with another microfiber cloth. These do not scratch the paint...
