    I recently aquired a radius 118 from a online marketplace. As usual the listing had poor quality pictures taken in poor lightning, and so I assumed it was a 119. I was pleasantly surpriced when a 118 turned up!

    A soak i diesel, a cuople of cycles of heating and quenching of the vaporiser (it was literally filled up with soot) and a new filler cap seal and it was ready.

    That was an incredible surprise.:shock:
    I'm glad it wasn't the opposite surprise.
