Replaced the coolant expansion tank. After 15 years (had hairline cracks in it when I got the truck 7 years ago) its finally started leaking. Not much but it was weeping coolant when the temp rose.

10 minutes later and a wee bit of fresh coolant and all hunky dory again.

Also since sorting out my intermittent engine management issue and cleaning the combustion chambers I seem to be enjoying reduced fuel consumption
