Hi Spook,

Thank you very much, I couldn't have done this myself without your help, Amarin's and anyone else who dedicated their own time to help me. You are awesome!

With regards to the condensation, both tank and cap are genuine brand new.
I see this every day, regardless of the weather.

I will try first to open the cap as you suggested, and see if that helps.
I still have the old cap, which after 25 years, proved to be good, given that the issue was the head gasket.

Every day I drive the car, and I still do not believe I finished the job.
Once I reverse from the garage to leave, I always check is there is any leak of oil or coolant.

In a few weeks I will drive 5000 Km to see my son, I hope the car passes the test :)

The only thing I miss now, is the wiring to the coolant sensor, I just got the metal pin that goes in the flat connector behind the dashboard, so I should have everything I need... but I will take it easy :)

Alessandro
