Hi Jibbers here again , some of you may have seen one of my other posts about the 320 i got for spares , if you didnt read it the story is
i paid the man Ԛ£100 and took the car , it then comes to light that said car had just had full engine and diff rebuild .
The thing is ive just got under my car to do filters and belts and i just
noticed that my block has got shiney new core plugs in it , does this
mean that i am the jammiest git out there and my current engine has
been recently rebuilt too , or is there other reasons why core plugs
are renewed ?
Ive not had the car long so not looked too close til now , previous owner did spend a lot of dough on it , so maybe i do have more jam than
Hartley's ........ :D
Cheers Jibbers

I fthe previous owner didnt have enough antifreeze in the cooling system the water would freeze and one of the first things to get pushed out and or damaged is the core plugs. In my case it cracked the top of the radiator, but previous owner admitted that.

Hope that helps, Regards Mark.
