We also removed all engine under covers ready to be cleaned of all the oil from the worn PS Pump pressure hose.

We hope to do the first start up tomorrow after filling the cooling system up with coolant and Purple Ice from Royal Purple. Once the car successfully starts up and everything is OK we'll do a test drive followed by a full fluid swap. Also will be investigating squealing sound from brakes.

More to come today
