Ocheye Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 It was MOT time for my daily driver today and because of Covid I'm leaving it over the weekend so we drove to the testing station about 4 miles away with the TR4 and the daily driver. It was very icy and we slithered around on our feet when we reached the testing station. However the TR4 was sure footed and I was able to stay in a higher gear than normal preventing wheel spin. My daily driver (Alfa 159) is much twitchier however requiring more use of the lower gears. I also had to run it for 20 mins to thaw it out but the TR had been tucked up inside so no problem there. Such a pleasure to be out in the TR again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As we've no legitimate excuse to be out and about during lockdown it will have to stay there until our weekly 'click and collect' from Asda. Can't wait! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harlequin Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 Well the TR3 came out of the garage for the first time in months, admittedly it was so that I could use the garage to do some carpentry work on my lockdown campervan project. The goodness is that once the fuel was through it started straight away. George Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Quicksilver Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 First time out this year. Nice ride, a bit chilly but a great time out! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steves_TR6 Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 I rolled my TR6 out of the garage and onto the drive today, as it was actually sunny and above 10c, to: fit new four seasons heater valve renew antifreeze renew rear exhaust box hangers as exhaust banging on chassis all jobs easily and quickly accomplished, that doesn’t usually happen, and necessary test around the block completed topped up the coolant and put him back in the garage Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steves_TR6 Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Needing to go collect an order from Cook and it’s not raining.... so took the TR ! new heater valve working nicely, much easier to operate/modulate thannthe really stiff old one can ran perfectly and was nice to get out, even for a few miles. TR back in the garage for a while now, as freezing weather/salty roads due back next week and lockdown running on anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brenda Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Had to go and pick up supplies this morning, so took the TR instead of the 4x4. Called at the egg vending machine, then to the Lambing Shed, and then for a short walk at one of our favourite places Gawsworth Hall. Mike Redrose group Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Misfit Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) I think perhaps your outing was better than mine, the scenery looks considerably brighter, if not the future . AstraZeneca jab today, Edited February 7, 2021 by Misfit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2long Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 I’d sure rather have a jab than a dip! Cheers Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Richardtr3a Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Today was the first time out on the road since May 2020. The Tr had new springs, new exhaust, all new radiator hoses and rustproofing injection. It started well with new petrol I drove to the local shop for food while the radflush was working in the engine. The new springs allow the exhaust to remain in place over speed bumps. There used to be some mild vibration at 60 mph but it seems to have gone away, could it be the new exhaust ? This was also the first time out since the new petrol tank. There was 1x gallon in the new tank and I added a second. The fuel gauge needle moves just off the stop but did not register the 2nd gallon. There is some slight condensation in the fuel gauge glass. There was a new earth fitted . Is it time for a new sender and where can I find a top quality unit. (what do you think Bob? ) Great to be driving it in the sun and no rain.

Lebro Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Use a length of wire (coat hanger type) with a hook on the end to pull the float up in the tank, & watch the gauge. that will tell you how well it's working. Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve come to the conclusion that you are what we would call a wind up merchant. (No offence intended by the way). I’m hugely envious. My wife and I normally go on holiday to somewhere warm and tropical during February and this year for the first time in years we are stuck in the UK. Rgds Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(what do you think Bob? ) Richard & B Another thought Richard, it could be that the float is catching on the side of your new tank, & sticking. Again a test with a length of hooked wire you could prove / disprove that theory. I use one with an S shape at the end turned horizontal so you can pull & push on the float / wire support. Bob.
