Hi folks Many thanks for all the suggestions and help as always, I have had the new brakes fitted, the cylinders were not weeping, they were proper leaking, and the units fitted were 15mm bore. Also needed new rear flexi pipes as the originals were welded to the pipes...
Also finally fitted and tested the electronic fan temperature switch, fully programmable, so have set for turning on at 102C, then off at 92C. My mechanic agreed that the original switch would either strip the threads, or crack the casing, so it is not going anywhere... Have fun and keep safe.
