Alfrom Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Just a short run out - no pix, Checked the antifreeze protection yesterday and decided to give a bit more. Removed about 18 fl oz but couldn’t get more than 12 back in, even after a couple of heat up/cool down cycles in the garage so thought a run out would help shift any bubbles. Well it didn’t, but all was OK - wasn’t even too cold considering the roof was down, as usual, and external thermometers showed zero’ish temps. Very sunny today - so will probably give it another go later. Any excuse will do for a drive out and better (but only just!) than a drive to the supermarket in the day car.

Hi Pierre I fitted a thermostat housing from an MG Midget 1500 which has a filler plug on the top, it works really well at getting all of the air out of the cooling system.

Z320 Posted February 18 Author Report Share Posted February 18 (edited) Hi, out for a 110 miles test drive today, visiting the Würth-Museum near Künzelsau Reinhold Würth is called "the screws king" due to his very successful business. He spents a lot of money for art and his museums - they are all free to visit. And his business is a hudge benefitt for the Hohenlohe region. So far we always visisted the 2 museums at the town Schwäbisch Hall, today the 2 others near Künzelsau On Museum #1 (big sculptures) a exhibition about "threads" (history, making, tools, trivial) is shown, very interesting (for me) A lovely afternoon and well and safe back at home, the car run great after 4 months at the garage Ciao, Marco Edited February 19 by Z320 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
