Interesting Mod
« on: 11 November 2014, 18:31:43 »
It's been pishing down all day and I've just had a lightbulb moment!  8)

I could divert my scuttle drain into my header tank which would keep my coolant system nicely topped up and would automatically flush the system when it's cats and dogs!!  :)

Thoughts?  :D  ;D

You need one of those little Indians they where on about on top gear.

"There is no boarder control, but you will know when your in India. You'll just know... Then they saw two young boys on the front of a truck, alternately catching the water from a leaking radiator, and pooring at back in the top, as the driver merrily drove down the road. They had arrived in India" ;D or something like that anyway. :)

That reminds me of a ride on a 'Chicken Bus' across Palawan Island in The Philippines I once did.  The driver gave me the front passenger seat so I had a great view of the shit road that we were hurtling along and I noticed a pipe that came in through the drivers door window and disappeared into the floor.  The pipe had a valve which every now and again he opened.  ::)

I wondered whether it was some sort of 'Nitro Boost' to help us up the steep hills, but when we stopped at the 'Services' I saw a sodding great water tank on the roof rack and the driver was up there with a hose pipe filling it up!!  :D  ;D

Only if you turn the heater up...

Besides, that would then be one less place to leak ::) I'm positive me...
