Tidy area around where coolant had been spilt. Remove offside thermostat housing and thermostat. Clean all,components and make new gasket for housing. Fit both thermostats and housings and secure. Refit hoses and tighten all hoses. Remove clean and reseal fan sensor. Refit both air filters and housings and secure.
Refill cooling system with new anti freeze. Run up but still think nearside bank misfiring slightly. Remove plug leads and run up and remove a lead in turn to check. Remove spark plugs but unable to access cyl 1 a and 1 b. Cut old socket down and eventually manage to remove plugs. Order new set of 12. Investigate light issues. Remove both headlights and replace both side light bulbs but neither working. Check power supply nine.
