Spots and bullbars are normally ok - but it can cause obstruction if too big. Traveling in long grass can also clog the radiator with seeds.

Hi Marius Remember if the thermostat has had the mod done the hoses have all probably been cut to suit. To go back to the original will require new hoses. When my mod thermostat gives problems I will need to replace every hose. This is another example of Jan`s thinking as he told me the original is unsuited for our climate Regards Ronnie PS I always carry a seed net with me ;D

Hi Adam 2 spots is fine ,I have no problems with overheating. In fact Ari`s Lada had 4 spots at one time and with the original thermostat it also was no problem. Just keep the cooling system in good condition Regards Ronnie

Hi Marius You never asked how much Jan sells his rebuilt Lada`s for. My wife gave him R59800 for mine and that is his normal price. He can`t sell them now as you need cash as he cannot get finance for them now. They are also not worth the money and look good cosmetically BUTtttttttttt Regards Ronnie

Hi Ronnie 60K for a rebuild or rather a "rebuild" is quite stiff. But then so is all his spares. However for that price you expected him to at least made good on what he promised - which he did not. Good thing is - the car has you

Hi Ari
Still shopping around, trying to get hold of rooikoos, but I've seen one in Benoni recommended by Jan.
I've test driven quite a few the past few days, but unfortunately one was worse than the other.
Cheers Adam
