Test Run to MOT station





The radiator was fitted this weekend and all seems well.
Still a little noisy - but Jose says its normal so I'll relax.



I then heard a rather more serious sounding rattle - but this turned out to be the Fan tapping the end of the crankshaft pulley. The radiator and fan were removed again to adjust the fan offset.



I drove to the MOT station and all seemed well.


The tester refused to test the vehicle because en route she had sprung a small oil leak. It seems to be coming from the crankshaft pulley seal 😒 radiator out again..






crank seal was damaged - must have been rather clumsy attaching the crank pulley




The throttle had a strange feel to it - there must be a tight spot at the beginning as at 1/2 throttle it suddenly goes loose and its easy to jump to 3/4 - which is quite exciting.
It transpired to be the rubber vacuum blanking bung getting in the way. The right spot went away when a shorter bung was fitted.
