A110s are wonderful, quirky, fun and exciting machines. Compliant, yet sporty. Full of vigour and athleticism, light on its feet, yet sturdy. Fantastic pleasure to drive.

This is the colour I would get one in.

Apologies for the thread drift.

Mines coming in this colour



Such a smooth drive almost a delicate experience but at the same time totally planted and although not blistering fast on paper the suspension on B roads enables you to hardly ever feel the need to ease off at all, at 60mph (ish). Motorway it felt a little bit light but there's a geometry setup that elevates this apparently. IMO better handling / feel than the Lotus. More leg room than the MX5 and apart from the odd switch etc a very nice interior finish considering Alpines obsession with lightness.

Should be able to find that colour in a car park! Quite stunning

Perhaps we'd better let the OP have his radiator thread back now?

Was that taken at John O'Groats?

Yes, just last week.

yeap…unfortunately mine (plusfour20) also at 4500 km is in service for a leaky radiator…

Not to be outdone, my Aero has developed Covid symptoms too. Runny nose - dripping from the O/S front corner of the rad core. No doubt it'll be looking like P8Mogs car soon, good job the weather's so lousy at the moment.

Check to see it is water David? It is not unknown for the various additional radiators in the stack to be leaking hydraulic fluid. There are a couple of unions that are in the wheel arch area that can be hit by debris and possibly full lock. The trouble I had getting mine sorted was almost a John Cleese training video.

Yes definitely coolant Alistair, I’ve had the under rad plate off and can see it dripping out from the central core area of the rad. It only leaks with the engine running and the coolant reservoir needed around a litre of top up. So my guess is rad or hose / hose union in that area. We won’t know until we can get her clothes off for a good look!

I’ve also been grovelling in the o/s front wheel arch as well, as the air intake pipe had come loose as it runs over the wheel. The caused it to foul the tyre on left lock, as it runs in the coiled pipe in front of the tyre. Now secured back up out of the way. Thankfully no other leaks in that area.

I dont know for the plus 6 but on plus four the coolant has to be put under pressure.
If you fill the reservoir it will not go into the radiator
