T16 restoration starts in earnest

[andrew honychurch]

thanks Rick, yes sorry we did not meet as well. There is always so much to do at W and P that to stay close by the vehicle all the time is to miss seeing things.

T16 is looking decidedly second hand now, so I need to tidy a few things up again. Lots to do after my 20 mile run. It seems that the oil cooler for the rear axle is not allowing the oil to flow through. The bottom pipe and lower part of the cooler is hot but the top is cold. There is a thermostat at the top which allows the oil to flow through but perhaps it is stuck closed, or maybe the oil cooler is far more efficient than it would seem.

Oil leak somewhere in the engine bay, quite a lot as it happens so my nice clean floor is covered, at least it wont rust again. And of course I need to sort out the fuel starvation problems.

Anyway, when I can bear to I will get stuck into all that and hopefully she will be properly sorted by Headcorn Combined Ops.

as an aside, thats a nice show if anyone feels like a trip to Kent again!
