Two forward One back

Why doesn’t it surprise me with Marvin that every time I get a step forward something pushes it back, Its just been MOT’d and Today it got 12 months Road tax (free of course), and this afternoon I decided it was time to play with the tappets, so warm up the car (check) off with the rocker cover (check) get tools out and start first tappet, and the phone rings.

Its appears Arthur has a water leak, so its brought round for me to have a look at. Within an hour the radiator is out, the hoses off the water pump removed. The water pump casting had corroded and collapsed, the bottom hose was leaking and worst the radiator was leaking at the bottom.

Have I got spares yep, everything but a radiator, so out came Marvins and into Arthur (after a few hammer blow as and bends of metal to jury rig it into place). So now the HC is sort of fixed , and is able to drive but yet again Marvin is off the road..

Time to find some radiators one thinks.
