Ok, a few posts a go you mentioned you have a wiring diagram for the car, any chance of a copy. The previous owner has scribled some connections down and listed what fuses and relays do what but it would be good to have a bit more info

Trying to get new header tank preasure cap is a pain, all motor factors are asking what the tank is from. Do you have a link to one I can get or part number

 

Can't help with a part number I'm afraid. There's nothing marked on mine.

 

Make sure though that it has long bayonet tabs. I bought a replacement 15psi cap but it had short tabs and wouldn't rotate or lock on to the bottle.

As far as draining system do I just remove bottom hose from rad, if so how does engine block drain? Or can I take hose off pump as that is lower than rad and will that allow engine to drain?

 

I generally undo the U hose from the water pump inlet to drain the whole system.

Unfortunately it is on a 4 ft x 3 ft piece of paper so making a copy is going to be a challenge. I'll see if I can scan it in A4 chunks and stitch it together. Considering how good the previous owner was I'm surprised he didn't give you a copy. Might be worth an e-mail to see if he still has it.

If you have camscan on your phone you can take a photo and send it as a pdf

[geordie40]

Hi Al, will ask him but I think he gave me all he had. If you have a copy shop near they some time have plan printers which copy/print up to A0 size paper (I repair them!!)

 

If your agreeable you could send it to me recorded and I can copy it or maybe scan it so there is an electronic copy of it.

 

I would re emburse any costs

Happy to post it to you. PM me with your address,

This setup looks completely different, no expansion tank, different rad and looks like the heater pipes disappear into the car.

 

Its up for sale on "preloved" in Cheshire

Nice clean engine bay. I wonder where he put the brake fluid reservoir ?

[geordie40]

Oh yeah, didn't notice that, all the relays and wiring must be inside the car a well and his ECU must have connection at the bottom as cant see any wires at all.

 

Very tidy bay
