Stephan. (back on the 10th April) Not knowing how old your radiator is, I would opt for a new unit rather than trust a repair. Replaced radiator after my 79-B slipped off the jack pad and went through the bottom tank. That was over 10 years ago and it still looks new with no signs of seepage. |

Thanks for your help Sandy I've been in touch with with an old friend who is going to be able to check out the electrics for me. Thanks again. Derek |

If you have a voltmeter use it to check battery voltage engine not running. should be 12 volts. Check with engine running at 200 RPM and it should read 14.6 volts. If not then you need to have generator and voltage regulator checked by an automotive person that knows what he's doing. |

I recall John Allen did a similar fix to cure the oil leak from the speedo pinion - it's on the IMGYTR website.

I second what Peter is saying. Check your timing. It can make all the difference in the world. |

Pretty sure there should be a small felt "washer" in the inside of the screw cap fitting at the gearbox end to prevent this from happening. |

Hi Nigel thanks for the reply and yes I fully intend to use the car as much as possible and enjoy the driving experience. I have the original manual that came with the car and plenty of spare parts. It is a one owner car from new which has to be a record.it has been garaged for a few years and probably just needs to be driven regularly. Thanks again. |
