[Sunbeam Talbot Email List] Summer driving

[Martin Spurrell]

hi wes,

         have you tried the knobs marked "ventilator pull to open" ? 
they are to be found in the cab.down near your knees,one each side. if you are lucky enough to be travelling at any speed,they provide a  a refreshing blast of cool air in the trouser leg department. however,when stuck in a traffic jam they become about as usefull as a chocolate tea pot. all you can do is move to where the car was built.where you may suffer only two or three days per annum. 

                             best wishes,  martin spurrell.

I just returned from a nice show in Grapevine, TX.
When I got there, I found out my car was literally the poster car for the show (created from a picture taken last year.) How delightful.


The trip itself was uneventful. Oil pressure eventually wandered down to about 30, and idled about 25. Water temp maintained a nice 175-deg F. Charging system was 13.7V and a slight + on the ammeter. All good. Gearbox still leaks a little, but no big concern.

The temperature in the cabin was another story. Good heavens, I am getting copious heat from the engine bay somehow. I've taken steps to plug obvious holes and make flaps (steering column etc. ) more snug fitting.

Is it just me?  Any suggestions?


Wes

Fate, TX
