Where did summer go!!
Discussion
So, sadly the TVR has been SORN'd all summer as I have had no time to tinker.
Finally got a replacement Starter Motor, put the battery on charge over night and hey presto, it lives!
So, now back to the original reason I actually removed the bonnet many months ago, to check the cooling system.
Tried some rad flush, but it looks like my cooling system was clean, so just wasted all my anti-freeze.
Ran the car upto normal temperature whilst on ramps, and the cooling fan comes on. It stayed on for 15 mins before cutting out. Was expecting it to switch off a bit quicker as there is no bonnet to trap heat and it is only 13 deg outside today.
Anyway, there are no leaks, and radiator looks relatively ok, so now that summer is over, I am reluctant to pay £200 for a radiator overhaul.
I guess I'll just buy some anti-freeze and have a go at getting the bonnet re-aligned.
So, I guess it's time to tax it again!!

Magpies, I didn't wait for fan to come on again, didn't think of that.
Have now taken rad out and flush through with garden hose, but no idea if anything is blocked inside as water comes out anyway.
Going to my brother in laws to use his compressed air gun to get any dead bugs out, but I don't see what else I can do to test the efficiency which means I could just replace it with no improvement!?
Any ideas?
Thanks
