Thanks for the responses...

Can't say I care much for the idea of fancy colours in an engine bay that no one will see, so will probably just go for the standard rubber! by my reckoning, they have been there for 20 years already so will just stick with that, replace the full set, and be sure to double double check clearances!

Thanks everyone

Evening all,

Just a random thought, but having spent the last week being chauffeured around in my Dads HS...

Would it be possible to install HS seats and steering wheel into the TF?

Seats I imagine would take a bit of fettling, but the steering wheel would be depending on the column splines...

might be an interesting little project.

Thanks Bruce,

What is the benefit of silicone over standard?

TIA

I replaced my filler cap by swapping the lock over... little bit fiddly but it can be done!

Good evening all,

Been a while since my last post, but once again find myself reaching out to the knowledge and wisdom that makes the T-bar what it is…

Decided to take a drive on Sunday, lovely day in Dorset, got the roof down and Britney Spears… erm, I mean AC/DC playing max volume… Sadly the TF had other idea’s and decided to engulf itself in a cloud of smoke/steam and liberally coat the road below in the contents of the coolant system…

Thankfully I spotted the cloud following me and pulled over straight away before the needle had even twitched on the temp gauge…

General consensus is that this will be a split in a coolant pipe (yet to be confirmed), which should be an easy fix, but I am extremely conscious that all other hoses are probably the same age/condition, so if I change just this one then I potentially leave myself open to it happening again…

With this in mind, any recommendations for a full set of coolant hoses for a TF 135 at a reasonable price? I would prefer to stay away from E-bay specials…

Much appreciated,

Andy

EDIT: 100% confirmed now that she is back in my perfectly suitable workshop (aka: parking space in front of the house) that a coolant line has been rubbing on the exhaust heat shield and decided to pop...
