There's a lot sold so far. (100) according to TomHerald the author. He has plugged it on eBay.

I enjoy swapping between wheels on my cars. My mk IV spit wheels with oversize tyres are great for touring.
-
That's the one. The regular members have been busy keeping others on the road !
-
Do you mean the mk 3 Shropshire spit? If so its crawling slowly on ...

rare on a 13/60 . Check the pump.

I Have a Simon BBC dizzy. Great , easy, reliable.

WOAHHHHH. NEVER remove the guard. Especially with the new thin bodywork discs( brilliant invention!) ALWAYS use PPE. I had a bit of rust in my eye even using safety specs. It hurts. I used to use cheapos, but they always fail too early. Having said that, one as a back upis a good idea. I agree that having two on the go is way easier than swapping discs all the timed. The cheap ones seem to wobble too much.
oh and yes I meant dewalt. The switch is better than my Bosch and its heavier, which helps when cutting.

Time to get a Furgy then
we have two....... ! A 1965 MF135 and a 1974 550 . The 550 is currently used for setting and picking spuds. The New Hollands are somewhat newer and earn their keep.
-
Dealt always seem to last. I get about ten years abuse out of mine. Parts are available too. Try screwfix. The last I bought used an Allen key to change disks. Better in a garage.

I must admit, New Holland Tractor wheel white seems a fair match ( although as we liveon a farm theres some in the shed. Massey red is also close to Signal red......
-
IIRC later cars were Silver. However most early were white. Someone will advise an exact shade I am sure.
-
Andy, thats what I used i the 80s, but it looked a bit painted and still left white marks!
-
if you mean the originals,bead blast and powder coating is best in my opinion
-
Thanks pete. I do get to Cheshunt on a regular basis , so if all else fails ....!
-
Ok, Tonight I fitted the 72 degree. Guage reads perfectly ( I expected it to read cooler.). Next job is to swap the guage and see if it reads differently....
-
I have a similar problem . Currently i am running engine without a stat. OD operation much better ! However I suspect solonoid is to blame.
-
my herald running standard 411 diff and d type over reads on standard wheels by 15 % . My Bond on Mk IV wheelswith oversize tyres and J type with 411 diff under reads by 10 pc. I swapped them over . Sorted. Not ideal though ! The Bond really needs a different diff ....

I have bought a 72 degree summer stat. Going to try that and get a winter stat for .....er winter.

love a success story

Just dont boil ot like an egg, raise the temp in small increments , you, looking for the start to open point
if its boiling you cant see.
we had a tank with impellor and it raised temp in 10ths of a degree to test these
in the car these opennand close to modulate the temperature all the time , they dont just open and stay open , as cool entrers from the rad they close down till re heated and then re open so they work a lot
I would just replace it , its the only temperature control you have ,
make sure any replacement has a bleed jiggle pin in the rim , lets air out when its closed ,if its missing drill, a 3 mm hole in the rim
its bloomin new
Paddocks, so should be ok . going to test it anyway. gave it a good run tonight with no stat. Stayed very low as expected, with minimal heat from the heater. so suspect it is the stat. odd as thats the one that was in and the new one ???
-
Tonights update ! swapped rad for a known good one. Read Hotter ! Grr. top of rad very hot. Bottom
very cool. Took the new thermostat out. Now runs ( as expected ) cool on guage. . Rad hot at top , warm at bottom. 9 .....as expected) So it may well be a thermo problem. Going to try the lob it in a pan test if i can find a thermometer.
-
i havent suspected stabiliser as the fuel guage is so accurate. but will certainly try it ( think I have a spare somewhere .) Trying a spare guage on wednesday club night. so that will help. Its a new sender and reads same as the old one.
Thanks John, but beyond my tech expertise ! I agree that a IR thermo is the answer , and will explore that after wed if all else fails .
The Radiator was recored when i boughtb the car as a wreck in 85 but appears good . I suppose its possibly blocked.but as mentioned, the engine doesnt appear overly hot.
thanks chaps.

My Herald has run its MkIV engine for 28 years. no probs. recently noticed it mostly reads very hot but no other problems, so decided to sort it. Flushed the system with radflush, which showed a slight leak on pump. So , I replaced. Pump, thermostat, rad cap, sender unit. all with new. It now reads even higher ! doesnt appear to be losing water. Doesnt appear to be particularly hot. Top of rad hot, bottom cool...... Guage reads into or just below red.
I assume next job is to try a different Guage? but there has to be a better way ?

It is fair to say that the forum is not the place to discuss any bad experiences due to the libel laws. Quillers helps many keep their cars on the road but would also say that many shop elsewhere ......
I have used quillers but usually try others first......
