One of lifes happy moments!!!!!

Hi,

Yesterday while driving home in my '66 hardtop I had one of the trans cooler lines rupture close to the radiator. Isn't it amazing how much oil comes out and how the fan is very efficient at spreading this oil over everything under the hood!!! The engine compartment is dripping and the fans belts are slipping so much that I had non-existent power steering. Oh what a joy!!!!

Sorry to moan, but I had just cleaned it ready for a show.

Neil.

Hi,
At last it is cleaned and repaired and all is well - until something else goes wrong. (I fitted a trans cooler while I was doing the repair).
Regards.
Neil.
