Good.
Not counting chickens but it's easy to be a doom monger.....

I think it looks promising! I've had a few people advise me that the milkiness was simply a matter of condensation
probable too I guessRain water draining onto the exhaust?
We own Maseratis lol.....or aircon condensate.
Are you familiar with the phrase 'sufficient unto the day are the troubles thereof'?

how hot can the exhaust get after 5-10 mins?
The cat is designed to get up to 200-300c in a few minutes. That’s what the secondary air pump is for.
Condensation in exhaust. Mine does that if I move it out of garage and switch off. Joints to x pipe drip too until warmed through.UPDATE: Just ticked over car again for 5 odd minutes, not been started in 3 days an scared of a flat battery!
Coolant levels look ok compared to when I last checked on weekend. However I turned car off and locked her then I heard a 'sizzling' noise every 20 seconds or so. Noise coming from the region directly under driver seat and It clearly sounds like something hot making contact with the wet outdoor surface. I can only suspect this to be a minor coolant leak somewhere.
Are there any hoses/pipes which run around this region of the car?
That's no bad thing that the water can escape via drips as you don't want it sitting in the system.Condensation in exhaust. Mine does that if I move it out of garage and switch off. Joints to x pipe drip too until warmed through.
Yep not a problem a problem for me. I just need to swap out the horrible exhaust clamps that it came with.That's no bad thing that the water can escape via drips as you don't want it sitting in the system.
Most exhaust systems have a little hole built into them for that purpose.
Take it up to 20 psi max probably find a problem around 15 psi if it's a hose, coolant reservoir or radiator issue.Car is due to be TK tested and pressure tested tomorrow. Does anybody know what bar pressure the cooling system can tolerate? Isn't the coolant cap meant to indicate the max pressure?

Another good test if the garage has emissions equipment is to hover the probe over the coolant bottle with the cap off and see if it picks up exhaust gases.
You can do but if you find a problem it will need addressing.Great thanks! Should i bring coolant in case i need to top up?

If it's a split rear hose you might not be driving home.
If it's weak and let's go I'm afraid especially if it's a hose.Hmm cant actually afford to leave it if that was the case! Ive a wedding booking on Monday and would rather leave it until after that!
So the pressure test could theoretically make an issue worst?
