Andyrew Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 This morning i dropped into the shithole that is luton to a fantastic place thats done a few jobs for me in the past 5 or so fuel tanks, and a disco rad recore for really good prices. Took the little tank in to see if he could work some magic on it and expected to just drop it off and leave it with them. But he stuck some air up its chuff, dropped it in the water tank and there was no leak! Now im doubting myself and baffled at the lack of leakage. After a quick hit with some heat from the blow torch this burned off the PSF in that area and then the wee leak revealed itself! Phew. He said he could patch the pin hole or go around the whole thing but he didnt see any benfit to the latter, i said id leave it with him and he could do what he felt best as cash wise i had nowt on me. He tinned it and blobbed on some solder and said not to worry about. A top bloke as always. Mrs6C, Floatylight, tooSavvy and 16 others 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyrew Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 Are we finally PSF leak free???? I think we should be. Tho whilst bleeding the system and topping up it overflowed so the area is now dripping with fluid , so its hard to tell!

Andyrew Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 Fan-tastic Not too bad to remove design wise. Shame the fixings have largely dissolved. Schaefft, Dyslexic Viking, Six-cylinder and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kringle Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 What are you doing with it at the moment? Sorting the fans now or still hunting PAS fluid leaks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rad fans have been faulty/seized since it was owned by @Schaefft as far as im aware. A decent pair have lived in the boot for years waiting for today.

Schaefft Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Yup, I remember one fan being seized, however one was always enough to cool the car sufficiently. I cannot remember if I bought the replacements (I think I did) or if they came with the car but they've been waiting to be installed for a long time. Great to see it finally happening.

Andyrew Posted March 21, 2022 Author Share Posted March 21, 2022 The fans are mounted on three studs. These would require the rad and everything else to come out the way. With many bolts looking firmly in place with corrosion i was glad that with the fan in the right place i could get to the outer nuts on the other side of the studs. Phew!

ThisWayUp Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Just noticed a Safrane over on Copart. Front is quite mushed, but perhaps a source of other parts. https://www.copart.co.uk/lot/39483062/1997-renault-safrane-rx-bristol Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
