Launceston cruise planned for Saturday 26th May

What an interesting day.

Attendances: Myself (32 GTS-t), Ian & Matt (Supra), Ben & Luke (32 GT-R)

Enjoyable drive not too much traffic , bite to to eat at lunch time.

Heading home after an enjoyable day when disaster struck

My 32 had cooked itself at Holwell Halfway between Frankford and Beaconsfield

Much steam from under the hood and temperature guage through the roof

After a cool down period we managed to Limp in to Beaconsfield but pulled the pin

as the temperature had come up again.

So faced with the prospect of a costly and/or time consuming tow back to Launceston

I was extremely surprised and grateful for the offer from Ben & Luke to head back into town

and return with a trailer to get my baby home.

I cannot thank them enough for all the trouble they went to considering we'd only met earlier that day.

So a BIG THANKS to Ben & Luke for all there help and patience when dealing with the the traffic

leaving the football @ York Park.

Early indications are a leaking bypass hose near the starter motor hopefully nothing more sininster than that.

But all in all still an enjoyable day.

Glad to hear it's most likely a small problem.

Was good to meet some new people, and go for a drive. I enjoyed the Holwell rd and it's always nice to hear that your car blows flames

Yeah replaced a shirt hose down near the starter motor apprx 4" long. Old one had a small hole.

Quick check of sensors etc

flushed radiator, refilled, pressure tested, removed resevoir, emptied, cleaned, refilled.

Done.

Running at normal temperature so far so good.
