Triumph Spitfire Cars MK IV

After the drive shaft was repaired and the interior back together, it was time for a test drive. What felt a difference the whole Triumph Spitfire cars is much smoother at all speeds and was able to cruise at 65 mph without any problems.

A job that has traditionally required you to have all the classics I heard, to change the water hoses. It does not cost much to do and can really help with all the reliability on a hot summer day. I bought the pipe from the Moss kit for about £ 25 with carriers. Not only the movement of the pipes to improve the reliability, but it gives you the chance to wash the cooling system. After removal of the tubes I have a hose that ran clear through the radiator, heater matrix and the engine block to the water. An engine flush could be used at this point to further purification of the engine, but as a complete restoration in the works, this is not considered necessary.

I put on new pipes and tightened the clamps. (TIP: If the pipes are too narrow a measure to try them under the "hot water at the edges soft work)

The system was filled then mixed with water and antifreeze / summer coolant in perspective. I ran the engine until hot, and check for leaks and air pockets before switching off the engine and check the level. I ran the Triumph Spitfire cars for a few days and check the level again and further strengthen their ties.

During the summer I had about 2000 miles without problems, I enjoyed driving both the date of restoration on and on making the rear.

I had a week and a half of vacation for Christmas and I decided it was time to make a beginning, but as always my best plans do not come out. My wife is a "modern car" died on Christmas Eve and was towed into the garage for repair. but as it was Christmas Eve, there was no option can not be repaired so that the Triumph Spitfire cars was in operation again (see below Picture Triumph Spitfire cars between Christmas and New Year) called before the new year delay in the recovery plans even more. On the positive side, I can say that I drove the Triumph Spitfire cars for two years.
