What did you do to your Marina today?

[Morris McKinnon]

How about some nice louvres in the left hand side of the bonnet to let the heat out?

I was actually tempted to do that once with a pair of mkIV Zephyr c pillar vents!

I have had suggestions of jacking up the rear of the bonnet to allow cooling as well,
I would think while stationary forcing cool air in should replace some of the hot air.
I will find out soon

Jacking up the rear is something I was going to try

Flushed everything out this evening. All in readiness for Tatton Park on Sunday.
After the nationals bust hose and high heat saga I wanted to make sure the cooling system was as good as I could get. There did seem to be a fair bit of muck in the system .
I'm a little confused by this as the rad, block and head were thoroughly cleaned at the engine rebuild stage and have always using anti freeze. I can only guess that there was some accumulated muck letting go in the heater matrix. I didn't go near it or the hoses until now tbh.
Cleaned plugs and new antifreeze and rad cap.
With the new hoses , thanks club, I'm hoping for good things.
Anyone else going to this show btw?

Friends of mine who are currently in the desert somewhere in a Singer something or other did just that when it started to get a little warm- worked well apparently. Well, it hasn't cooked since anyway.

In the last hour, after Sunday family obligations are fulfilled, with fading light and impending rain, I took the radiator out again to take it for a re-core sometime next week. When leaving the garage area temporarily, I tried closing the up-an-over garage door, with reversed-in car and open bonnet, to stop the cat getting in where there was spilled antifreeze. Took a big chunk of paint off the leading edge of the bonnet. Sheer genius.

I've done that with the boot lid! Only I had two goes before I realised.

I feel your pain, the day I put the freshly expensively painted Sd1 back in its lock up I did the same thing! Very annoying.

Safety first. Fitting new Goodridge brake hoses to the Ital 575. What did you do on your Marina or Ital. Goodridge LTD #listedasTR6butfitsanITALtoo!

Well finally sorted the alternator out on the pickup today as I had a few issues with things but finally got everything done and took it for a little outting for the first time in months and if the weather holds out there is a retro rides show on at Shelsley walsh this Sunday I will be attending hope all goes well

[pickup-16v]

Everyone loved the pickup Chris a lot of people didn't know what it was a lot of people thought it was a caddy some said escort chopped into a pick up some said marina but said did you make it into a pick up it actually won first prize for best truck in show so I was well chuffed about that

[MARINAMADBAZ]

Fitted goodridge plastic coated braided hoses to the front of the marina GT made a link pipe brake pipe like the late ital set up so that the braided hose goes the other side and screws straight into the back of caliper.
barry

Fitted the replacing drivers window that Baz got me, I can now see out! Bit fiddly especially trying not to chip the paint.
