George the Kettle is no more

[blurb55]

Hi to all those who have helped me through the trials and woes of getting George not to boil over and to sort the temp gauge.

I have run the bus around this morning and we seem to be maintaining a constant half way point on the temp gauge and the coolant level is remaining constant.

So a very big thanks to all concerned and if anyone would like to know any of the background and solutions I found I would be happy to pass these on.

Cheers, Paul & family.

I thought for a minute George had expired in a big way!!

Well done Paul, a tribute to your perseverance, and cheerful nature.
Hope you'll have many happy times in him.

give it a good run around , and keep an eye on the top up tank(behind the no. plate) if there is any air left in the system then it will make its way to there , top it up if you need to

Sharing the solution on here would probably be the most useful thing you could do - helps the next time someone has an overheating problem and searches on the board for it

Hi Mike & Mark,

as stalwarts of the "get George going support group" I thank you. Will keep a very close eye on the coolant and will be using him for local trips for the next 2 weeks to make sure all is well. (bound to back on here shortly!! )

DH would be happy to share - whats the best way, just post it up or do I have to put it in the wiki by some means?

PS: went to local companies workshops to finish our float for the village carnival next Sat, ran like a dream and I grinned all the way there and back - even got a wave from a T2 coming the other way - white over blue, hope valley 0930 Sunday - you know who you are, cheers fella.
