She is driven regularly, has been round Kirkistown a few times, over to Cream 2005 and I will be taking her to the south of France next month. I always wanted a Cerbera so I like to keep it in top condition so whatever it needs it gets.

The piping looks good. Is that the stuff from Act? If so how many bits are in that set?
It is the set from ACT cant remember now exactly how many something like 9 or 10 along with stainless steel hose clips.
You should contact Tim at ACT (they also come in different colours)

Just fitted on a new aluminium radiator which I think looks the dogs and new water rails. So I thought I would post a few pics.....
Looks brilliant - may i ask where you got the new water rails from ? Did they come complete with the top-mounted valves closed ? It's just that I've read that I should never touch these valves if I want to keep it water-tight !
Has it had any effect on normal running temperatures or the speed which the cooling system takes to warm up ?

If you don't open those valves you can't bleed the system of air???

The water rails came from TVR Power without the top-mounted valves, these come separately but just screw into place and as Julian64 mentions use these to bleed the system.
With the new rails and radiator the car worms up much quicker and the running temp is down 10 degree

they self-bleed through the little pipes that come off the back straight to the top of the expansion tank

I didnt realise this I just used the bleed taps on the water rails because I thought thats what they were for.
