Another Cerb . . . finally arrives
Discussion
Following up from my thread in very late 2024: "Another Cerb gets sold"
The bulk of all the work is now done. And the weather is finally good enough to drive her . . . so I picked the car up on Saturday over the Bank Holiday.
115 miles of driving so far (two drives out). Nothing is leaking. New rads and rad fans are keeping temps down below 100 when in traffic (on the TVR gauge). Cruising temps seem to be 85-95 (speed and throttle dependant).
The car seems happy in traffic. Happy at mild throttle . . . and totally looney at WOT lol
Still needs a little more paint correction and ultimately a trip back to the bodyshop late in the year for two more panels to be painted and blended (chose not to sort all the paint issues last year in case the car ended up back at garages being fettled - better to get the last of the paint done once she's mechanically sound i think).
Sport cats from ACT arrived the other day so I plan to get those fitted before I go deaf
Carl Baker is sorting out a new alarm system for me.
