im wondering if If the fan cuts in too early it stops the thermostat from ever fully opening - which would reduce the flow rate through the engine, causing localised overheating .. The Dog is home.... http:www.singleusemedical.co.uk my new business

took the mechanical fan off, the lekky doesnt really restrict the air flow - especially as I built the scoop to direct all the incoming air onto the rad The Dog is home.... http:www.singleusemedical.co.uk my new business

just looking at the Perkins manual, thermostat starts to open at 175-182f (79.5-83.5c) thermostat fully open at 200-205f (93.5-96c) Im wondering if I am worrying too much about what is a very old - uncalibrated gauge I wish the manual would specify a max temperature The Dog is home...

.. and the fan takes its temp from the radiator - a probe wedges between the rad fins - it is adjustable and I probably have it set low as I am so paranoid about overheating The Dog is home.... http:www.singleusemedical.co.uk my new business

it was approaching red and the fan was on - dont think i got above 20mph. I was doing 200m runs up and down the track which is on a slope. Turning round at each end and going back the other way. It was initially very smokey under load but that cleared after a bit The Dog is home...

took the dog for a few blats up and down the track / bridleway to my house - got very hot very quickly, does not look promising perfect at idle and revving out of gear - but the moment the engine has to do any real work the heat issue rears its ugly head The Dog is home...

unfortunately not (or so i was lead to believe) - no emissions test up to 1975 - I am 1976 so I think I have a very basic "are there billowing clouds of black smoke" type test with a very lax co levels I removed the hazard light switch I bought new shiny green indicator warning lamps - nice LED...

Up at the house in Lincolnshire I have 1998/99? bailey ranger 460/2 caravan which i might have to live in for a bit until the house is finished (Start a new job in Sleaford on 1st July) the manufacturer say the awning size is 892cm. I have seen a cheap awning on sale nearby but it is 1000cm...

http://www.ukmot.com/1-5.asp i think my link mirrors Enigma's - so i think i will just hide the switch for the MOT and plead ignorance to it ever having one. The Dog is home.... http:www.singleusemedical.co.uk my new business

The foliac coating has now "gone off" and the exhaust bandage is now solid and sealed in - Once I get some new wipers I can book it in for an MOT. I have also ordered this trim: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170619882494?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 to go round the removable...

the foliac has worked a treat. I have also renewed the insurance - and once Martin sends me some new wiper blades its off to the MOT station.... The Dog is home.... http:www.singleusemedical.co.uk my new business
