hi
thanks for the reply and I agree with you about contacting the sellers.
but I now Have bigger problems

I was going to go to ckc coffee and cars today. but I got down the road and the water temperature went into the red
.
I got the car home and it had no water in the rad. not good I Put some water in the car 4 liters:roll: .
I hope it was just an airlock it's just had a new rebuild
if it's not just an airlock I think its a new engine time
o well it's part of kit cars I did not know if the engine was any good
paul.


ps
I did still go to ckc coffee and cars in the Vauxhall tin top and had a good time it was nice to see peeps car on the road

Not Good
About the engine

Please read the posts....
""I went to fill the car up with petrol but could not get the pump nozzle in the car very well
when i got home i found that the Ultra Flexible Fuel Filler Hose that I got from car builder solutions
has a rubber like inner in side it looks like it has come away from the outer so i can not get the pump nozzle in
i have not had it on the car for long

does anyone know how Flexible the BLACK SILICONE Fuel Filler Hose is that they sell
or any type of hose which will do the job ""

As Far as I am aware that would be covered in the sales of goods act.....described as petrol pipe, used as petrol pipe and failed..bought new from a shop...

No??

I have contacted car carbuildersolutions about the fule pipe I will see how I get on

have you worked out where the coolant is going? surely more likely to be leaking somewhere from a hose connection or suchlike rather than into the engine? wouldn't it run really badly if you were leaking 4l across the HG from the waterways to the cylindersin a relatively short mileage and if it was getting into the oil it would be coming out of the dipstick tube if that much had leaked into the sump? Hope its something simple...

hi thanks sanzomat for the reply
I think you are right about finding where the coolant is going.
I have found that the rubber pipe has come off the stainless pipe which runs under the car so I'm going to change the radiator it was something I was going to do.
to get to the pipe that has come off I will have to take the front of the car of so thought I would change the radiator at the same time for the mgf one.
the mgf one is bigger and better than the original metro one.



there is not much holding the rubber pipe on the stainless steel pipe

I also got an email back from car builders suloshion
Hi Paul, it must have been a faulty length, we've never had the issue before.   I'll get a replacement part sent to you ASAP. 


Thank you

I have started to fit the mgf radiator. it looks like the metro radiator fixings are the same height its juts a little smaller radiator.
the mgf one is wider so it looks like all I need to do is move the mounts in a bit and its at the same so should fit





are problem one the electric plugs for the fans hits the subframe
so I drilled the motors off and moved them around so the wire plus are at the top
of the fan





it still does not fit. its hitting something.
I sent rich a Message and thanks for the reply


I think I have found the problem the corner of the bonnet is hitting the radiator.
the driver side has a cut out so I cut the passenger one the same looks as it might fit now yes It's tight

spot the difference?

I think I have got it to fit



I have this Alloy Water Sensor Adaptor to take the metro sensor to run the second fan but I think it will need a relay so I think I have a much better way



in first photos the metro radiator had the sensor in the radiator for the fan it looked like it would fit the mgf radiator.
it just did not have the hole.
I drilled the hole in the new radiator in the second photo it looks OK just hope it does not leak

I got the radiator to fit but when I went to fit the fans one did not fit
it hit the black tub so I had to re fibreglass the tub



I did get the two fan to fit in the end but not sure how much air will flow through the radiator

here are some photos of the day at Silverstone Classic 28th July 2017.
