Title: oldest original hbv ?
Post by: annihilator on 21 July 2015, 17:46:42
got a trip planned in a few weeks so decided to tackle my hbv as the expansion tank needs topping up now and again and a faint whiff of coolant is present when i get out after a run.
first off i'd like to meet the evil psychopath at GM that decided on the valves location so as i had time on my hands i removed the wiper motor and linkage as well.
took the old one off and discovered this

wonder if the genuine replacement (made in china  >:( ) will last as long.

also found this pristine 20 yr old label on a bit of loom.
