hannadaimlerv8 Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Didn't make the Abingdon Sprint today in my TR4. S**t and boll**ks. £155 wasted and a great day's enjoyment down the drain. Suffered a blown water pump yesterday evening, taking the car out to get fuel for today. Didn't have a spare but saved by Harry Dent (of concourse TR5 fame). He took one off the car he is rebuilding and my car was ready to go by 2.30 am this morning. Two hours sleep and I set off for an eagerly anticipated early morning drive. Two miles down the road, the car started to overheat and I discovered a split radiator. What the hell was going on on. Limped home, removed radiator and discovered that I had pinched the radiator overflow pipe when I fitted the chassis bracket for the new front anti roll bar recently. Just shows how important that overflow pipe is to prevent over pressurisation.. I wish I could have reported that Harry's kind gesture to get me to Abingdon had been a lifesaver. That would have been very fitting. It doesn't take away though the spirit in which he helped me. I am very grateful. John Hanna Quote Link to post Share on other sites
