David Don't believe everything you read about green alternatives. Trilon M appears to still be based on the same family of chelates as EDTA and its higher homologues, even if it is not actually EDTA. For the curious, chelates , especially EDTA , are used in a wide variety of household and other

Mike  I am with you , I never get much past 200 miles without looking out keenly for my next fuel stop. I average about 25 mpg when cruising , (but much less on give and take country roads! well it is a +8 after all) so that equates to 8 gallons. The exact capacity of the tank is something of

Tim I remember our cars are very similar , and so the issues of course. My +8 sails through the MoT in every respect except for the emissions. It takes Mike at BHM several passes to get a reading that is within the Morgan allowance . Ironically it is not the Lambda sensors that are my issue ,

Owen  If it is Monopropylene Glycol , then this also needs inhibitors. It just needs slightly less and a different type to Monoethylene Glycol. I suspect this whole story is something of a marketing hype rather than proper science. The boiling point of the pure product is 187 Deg C, but this

Re: [mogtalk2] Brake servo unit on a +4

2012-06-01 Thread Andy Garlick
Erik Why do you feel you need a brake servo? The light weight of the +4, and its powerful brakes are more than capable of slowing the car down without one. Even the racers do not use servos on +4s , +8s are another matter due to their heavier mass, and faster approach speeds. The best solution

Richard  I am slightly puzzled by this , if you want to cool the water invest in a bigger radiator , if you want to cool the oil invest in an oil cooler. You seem to have invested in an oil cooler to help you cool the water, which is not logical (to me anyway). However I do respect Keith's
