Hi Bob, yeah, & I'm getting(got) too old for it. Also heard noise from the water pump so have just fitted a new one. Some 'STAR' mechanic been on this car at times - two of the 1/4 UNC bolts holding the two halfs of the pump together had been sheared - easily fixed by said star mechanic - just fill the holes with sealer!!! Now drilled out & re-tapped. He(or she) had also found a seized inner piston in the near side caliper when fitting new(wrong) pads.That's OK,easy job,just put a worn pad in the inner & new in the outer.
Job sorted. All the best,JD. _________________ 1958 Ford Zephyr Mk2 Convertible

Humber has now gone to Liverpool(sorry Bob2) as I got the chance of something more to my liking(& a lot rarer). I will need to change my avtar & post some pix. Shush Peter(Scott), keep it quiet a little longer. Good to see you again at Bridge of Allan,cheers,JD. _________________ 1958 Ford Zephyr Mk2 Convertible

Corsair Estate is also now sold due to other things going on in my life.
It will be going to NewZealand with a wee detour to Chelmsford first.
New owner splits his time between UK & NZ. Cheers,JD. _________________ 1958 Ford Zephyr Mk2 Convertible
