I got the p6 radiator re cored. I went to fit it tonight and thought I'd fit the new stat and gasket I've got sitting for it. If you've ever changed a stat on a v8 p6 you'll remember as its it's an awkward bastard. I fitted the rad and being an impatient dick I fired it up and it started pishing water out the stat housing more than likely because the silicon hadn't set yet. I've taken it apart again and re sealed it so hopefully it'll be watertight when I try tomorrow'.

[hairnet]

Those SL's are temptingly cheap. I suspect that won't be the case for long

bye bye jag bye bye jag hello herman the german

I missed out on a 3 owner H reg 300SL-24 for £2850 a month or so back. I regret not having the stones to do the deal.

[Lacquer Peel]

Be grateful it wasn't the motor..

The linkage flaps about a bit because of all the unlubricated wipes...

I'll only do an SL in M119 V8 form, I'd feel like I'd compromised if I went for a straight six model. On the other hand, an SL280 will do the legal limit just fine!

Still leaking, then I noticed this product "reccomended" by Rimmend brose

 

Non setting gasket compound. What? What's that used for? I'm going to use non setting tile cement on my bathroom as I want the pleasure of putting all the tiles back up every time I have a shower.

Might wash the 75 in this stuff may fix the never ending boot leak.

This place isn't etc. etc.

 

[dugong]

Well, it really isn't.

Don't worry, I've got this covered.

In Stockport this morning, see a Pug 405 coming the other way. Who else could it be?

 

Junkman spotting level achieved.

 

No picture though 'cause too slow witted.

[Kiltox]

First train of the day - bit early but I'll get some lunch in Brum before traveling onwards

Sorry to hear that. Thoughts with you etc blah.

ID says Beiru....., sorry Coventry so it's probably an improvement.

[dean36014]

Coventry? Just checking I've not sold one of my heaps!

[nacho man]

A bit slow at work so the vehicles are getting a going over.

 

07 iveco with 224k and the 3.0 4cyl donk gets hot mainly at motorway speeds.

 

 

Ideas peeps???

Wrong thermostat?

[mrbenn]

Overheating at speed suggests a blocked radiator to me.

[dean36014]

I'd go with rad too. Engine is working hard at motorway speeds and needs good cooling. At that mileage rad is probably getting past its due date

[Tam]

Got this lot delivered from Amazon of all places following someones recommendation on here. All for Raffle Rover. Anyone want to guess the cost of this bargain basement stuff delivered ?

Radiator, Brake discs, Water pump, Air filter, Ignition leads and Dry Ignition Coil. 

 

 

[dean36014]

More than twenty for free delivery but less than fifty. Judging on what I brought I'll guess at 43 quid

[Bear]

Calendar shot, surely

[Bear]

That moment when you consider a trade account with Mercedes, then worry you could genuinely spend as much every month as just leasing a new one "slowly restoring" three cars...
