Yes, they are.  And they're in.  And Puff now starts on the second
or third revolution, not the twentieth.  Four of the ones I took out
were wet at the tips.

The damn machine just almost gave me a heart attack.  I'm finishing up
prepping the thing to go to Germany as a support vehicle for 50
ur-quattros, and what do I see (in Sheffield drizzle) but a steady
drip underneath from the middle of the engine bay.  Check underneath -
it's coming off the radiator carrier bracket.  Saturday afternoon,
with a bank holiday on Monday.

Wierdest thing.  Where the firewall meets the wing, the rubber seal that
runs right across the car holding the front of that flimsy plastic
shield in place stops.  Another seal runs down to meet it from the
windscreen, and there's a kind of rubber bung in the gutter.  There's
supposed to be a channel under the bung to let water run down the
gutter - but it's blocked.  Rainwater has backed up, overflowed at the
front corner and run down the inside of the wheel arch onto the
radiator carrier bracket - thence to the floor.  PHEW!!!
