Water spray from bonnet?

[Flyin Banana]

Iv'e just come back from the sag first real trackday and at high speed i seemed to be getting a small amount of water coming from under the bonnet passanger side(where its cut away) and coming onto the screen, anybody else had the same problem

Cheers Rob

Had this the other day, turned out to be a fine spray from the bleed screw on my new alloy radiator.

Got a T350 wih a mark one front end, so my rad is the slight tilted forwards(from vertical), with the bleed screw on the top left hand side of the rad looking down the bonnet. Nipped it up and yet to test it but got 3/4 turn on the the screw, so hopefully thats got it. 17mm spanner.

Rob you will find it is probably the car peeing itself!

or could be the windscreen washers dribbling as no anti-syphon is fitted.

easy modification done by a few now

This was happening to ours, Power put in a non return valve, sorted

£3.99 from your local Halfrauds, in the wiper section. Does the trick.

What part? Or is this in Graham's book? If so DON'T tell me! I'll look for myself and feel that I've achieved something. I'm such a mechanical numpty that the smallest things make me happy....

Was told when I bought mine that the TVR Centre fitted one of these to all Sags they supplied from new

not sure if its in the book but there is only one anti-syphon valve so you canot miss it on the shelves!

its in the book last section regarding upgrades.

I do not have the book here but they are Audi bypass valves. They cost me about £4 each.
