Title: Oh boll&*cks
Post by: TheBoy on 15 July 2008, 19:10:01
Tractor has just blown its load all over the A43.  HBV failed by look of it  :'(

Supposed to be going to Ilford tomorrow to do a couple of Linux servers, picking a colleague up from Luton to show him how as well.

Tractor - failed HBV
Silver Bullet - knackered suspension, buckled wheels, 2 tyres showing canvas :o

Good job she's getting a lift tomorrow, so can use the Rover.

Tractor one is different.

Looked at bodging with a bit of copper tubing, but can't find a suitable bit.

HBV on tractor is easy. 60s would be enough time, most of that refilling system.

No, std Omega one is a valve, not disimilar to central heating 3 position valve, that guides coolant either to matrix, or back around block.

TD on is a simple on/off that prevent flow to matrix.

Fact. Hence dealer has just ordered it.


Still, the little Rover got me to Ilford and back nice and quickly.  Even had time for a round of golf on the way back, but don't tell the boss  :-X
