mkmick Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Get yourself a bag of cold lay macadam from wickes about £8.00. Warm the area as you fill it you will get better adhesion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jase Posted January 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Thanks, thought so, will get the heat gun out when it is a bit warmer, probably lost about a 1/4 tank of petrol into this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ask the wife to park her car there when it’s dark, then look all angry the following day and point at it saying your car’s dropped some nasty fluid all over my driveway!

MichaelH Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Unfortunately most wives know that a leak onto the drive is more likely to be the TR than their sensible reliable car, I know mine has no illusions and don't get me on to "your car lives in the garage : mine never goes in even in the frost!."
