Thanks for the kind treatment Mr T! And congrats on your retirement, enjoy!
Ref your comments on the overheating, I never actually fitted a header tank, but ran the car fine for 600 miles or so
using the Heath-Robinson top pipe affair I cobbled up.
So perhaps its caught up with me.
Although since this latest heating problem, I actually have gone and got a nice little header tank, which I will get round to fitting (well, HAVE to really).
Degsy, I'm not sure whether some of the additives that are on sale will help, but it may be worth trying a few as the ones that are supposed to "coat the metal surfaces " may help.
If you are going to run it anyway, all you have to lose is a few quid which might well help the compression a bit.
I've never really believed in them and there is no substitute for a proper rebuild, but have a go.
