Though it might appear simplistic, I always thought Lennon had a point with that song....

One question that the Iranian supply of missiles raises is how weak is Russia now. There has been talk about Russia running short of ammunition on numerous occasions these past few months and the supply of these missiles is another indicator of that. The west taking its foot off the pedal will only give Russia the chance to restock whereas continuing to push might force Russia to rethink.

T...

The US must give permission to Ukraine to use long range missiles to strike deep into Russia.

The US must give peace a chance.

Hi Willy,

Do I infer you have a ML7?

I fitted a Newton Tesla inverter and 1hp three phase motor to my Super7. Highly recomended. Zero to full speed at turn of a switch, jogging and reversing (need to be careful about chuck unscrewing!!!!!) Best thing though is smoothness of the 3 phase motor. Absolutely no vibration and so quiet I have had to paint stripes on the countershaft pul...

It is important to let air out of the engine bay and heat will build up in it. Bonnet louvres do work and reduce both lift and drag (as tested by me in the MIRA full scale wind tunnel).

What I think would make a bigger difference in side vents in the wing like the Big Healey had.

Here is a photo of the Radtec radiator that shows the expansion pipe fitting. I think it might work better with a new expansion pipe fitting in the more usual place (I have seen two more usual places, and not sure if both were OE). If anyone wants it, cheap, e-mail me. Note that you can get a threaded fitted to push fit if you don't want braided steel hose and fittings or a blanking cap if you f...

If it's grinding when trying to select reverse the clutch is dragging. This could be due to air in the system but that is less likely to go when warm, and if you have access to another manual car (of any type) then you should notice that the biting point is lower on your MGB than that.

The other possibility - which I have had myself - is gunge in the pilot bearing which means that althou...

Guy, apart from the bucket of water, opening the bonnet is exactly my thinking; kind of.

It seems to me, the main issue is heat build up and retention in the engine bay, rather than just dissipation by the radiator.

Also, does a K series make more heat than an A series? Esp' when just sitting idling in traffic.

Starmer and Biden stall on giving permission for Ukraine to use long range missiles to strike inside Russia. Biden apparently more unwilling that Starmer.

Running away from reality.

"Warfare now exists both on the ground and online; tweets have become a form of virtual bullets fired by Russian aggressors ­working away in special 'farms' to spread the Kremlin's propaganda, distor...

So then, perhaps the answer is to open the bonnet when you get back from a salted-road drive, and throw a bucket of fresh water over the radiator!
