Avoid those sleepless nights, add Vactan application into your routine maintenance to prevent such worries. I could assist in putting together a maintenance plan if you'd like......................................................................................

Whenever I read "vactan", my brain autocorrects to "fertan".

Decided not to give in to peer pressure on the clip ( some may say bullying :wink: ) so in an act of defiance I found an even more rusty clip to fit rat style :rofl

actually the old clip wasn't too rusty it was panted brown, I have others in blue and seen green so perhaps they were colour coded?

A quick check confirms that's about all Classic have left.
The only 2.1 cam being a +7, but as their +2 was actually more like a -7 I won't be spending my €359 on one!
Unless, by deduction, the +7 is actually a -2...hmmm.

I put the standard thermostat back in today, the 80 degree one runs cold in winter.

Also fitted some bling I bought in the summer but didn't have time to fit before.
