first summer drive

Recommended Posts

hi again all

i know i seem to have a lot of questions but i will settle down soon and start helping others with my answers

 

just been for a ride to mumbles about 10miles either way

its very warm outside and there was a lot of traffic so sometimes i was crawling and sometimes i was motoring:dance:

 

my questions are

 

1. my water temp whilst crawling creeps above 110deg.

 

2. its about 105 109 deg. when iam motoring. are these normal temps?

 

3. the tunnel where your feet goes is boiling!!

 

4. should the front drivers side wheel bearing nut have a grease cap? if so where can i get 1? is it compatible with other models?

 

5. are there any jobs maintenance wise i should be doing for prevention? ive just noticed a "how to lube your rear spoiler on coc uk "

 

just for info i have a storm with 94k no water leaks and just fixed my oil leak ( rocker gasket ) ive got semi synthetic 10w 40 oil in her.

 

cheers in advance paul

2 again no not normal too high

 

3 are the hot vents directed there?

 

4 no the bearing is internal, only caps on the rear
