[tractor]

congrats now get out and drive it

[Guest Knownothing]

Great, well done .

[Guest Knownothing]

Great, well done .

[Guest Jay Paul]

found a few issues though

 

speedo cable snapped off

fuse went on fan

it gets hot

gauges are useless

4th and 5th are boring

and its running toooooo rich its sooting plugs up so booked in on rollers tomorrow

[Guest Knownothing]

Re heat, declutter nose cone, side vents and electric fan made a huge difference for me.

[Guest Jay Paul]

taken stat out to try it and see where that takes me as the temp guage is not working properly

 

hence why its on rollers in the morning to go to next step i will decide then if to spend a few quid on new loom and dash etc etc change of colour and so on

the way im looking at it at the moment im £1600 in including everything ive spent on it except tax and insurance and going by our great britich weather is it worth shelling out a few more grand to get a new version of what i got when i can fettle myself and make it my look

[Guest 2b cruising]

Nice one Nobby.

It's worth trying to cure the overheating before the rolling road though.

They might not run it.

Common fault is a bad earth on the fan.

Fan switch not workin, temp repair with a manual switch.

[Guest Jay Paul]

Fan was working I think it was the thermostat hence why I took it out even though I got a new 1 here I need to sort wiring out i got me eyes on new dash and stuff I think I'm going to keep it unless a mug makes me a silly offer

[Guest 2b cruising]

I will make that silly offer so you can sell it to me.

£1.00

[Guest Jay Paul]

I can see this turning into string down project

 

Just out of curiosity I got a very early model so what are the benefits of having a newer version apart from parts availability
