General Discussion Area / Re: What will happen to this driver ?
« on: 08 January 2025, 18:58:53 »I'm sure two tier Keir can find a punishment that takes equity and inclusion into consideration.
Probably give him a house and an ankle bracelet, tell him he is under house arrest for two months so he cant leave the property. Jail is full so a way around it

« on: 31 December 2024, 14:14:15 »yes the viscous units can sometimes become "non viscous" after losing their fluid and offer virtually no cooling at all . if you have a suspect spare unit you could always drill and bolt the viscous housing to make if a solid fan ( if this is the issue ?)
had a look at your profile for posts but not seen any other mention of this ?
whats the issue ? overheating full stop or hotter than normal at idle or cruising ?
Bought the car with a blown head gasket. replaced and it still got to almost boiling when driving.
Removed stat and still did the same. Flushed rad with some neat Uric acid and got a lot of very filthy fluid out
Ran car up again and although it got to 3/4 on gauge that wasa standing still.
Removed water pump incase the known replacement had a plastic impellor as they are known to fail. No
Cant run car at the moment as have the front calipers off as being sent to Biggred for rebuild

« on: 29 December 2024, 15:19:05 »Stripped the water pump off the Carlton today to see if it was one of the inferior plastic impeller versions10 to 1 you have done it but have you checked the cooling fan is doing its job properly
It was not so now wondering what else it could be for it to still be getting to hot. Head gasket done, stat removed and rad flushed with neat uric acid
Also attempted to remove both front calipers as they are "sticky" to send to Biggred for rebuilding
Could only find one brake pipe clamp and one caliper retaining bolt would not budge
Plenty of Ambersil penertrant around it and give it another go next week
Has a viscous Rae and its all working fine
