She's alive again. a bit nervous when it finally came to turning the key 
No Exhaust leaks (many thanks Kevin for the manifold all worked ok)and so far no oil leaks (although time will tell on that one
) hopefully no more degreaser on the drive!
Quick question though, fitted all new hoses and flushed the rad ( will be doing more flushing tomorrow now I can move the car out of the garage). However when I fitted the top hose if seems to sit on top of the corner of thecam cover now, where the old ones bend allowed it to clear it easily. I know as I could take the covers off with the old one on place but not with this new one. LD supplied all the hoses which other than this one have been a good if not better fit than the previous ones.
I am tempted to cut thenew one slightly shorter at the thermostat end. But before I get the stanley knife out I thought I would ask if others found this. Iguess it will mean I pull it back slightly the radiator end.
Hopefully this will show what I mean, old hose placed on top.
