Took her to the Stamford Car Show on Sunday. A bit
disappointing, only 4 cars turned up, the usual suspects who keep
the Lincolnshire chapter working, even though one lives in Rutland
and one in Leicestershire :-)
As you can imagine it was ridiculously hot so we spent most of
the day sitting under trees about 100 yds away.:-)
She drove well apart from an occasional quite disconcerting rattle which came and went depending on engine speed. I was a bit worried till I realised it must be my new sump guard, which isn't such a snug fit as the last one, was vibrating at a resonant speed and hitting the engine. And not surprisingly the engine ran about 2-3 degrees hotter on the journey back as the outside temp was 86F.
So I have taken the sump guard off, bent the holding arms to make it a better fir and put some cardboard between the sump and the guard to isolate it in case it still vibrates. Time will tell if that works.
