Must be summer,the heaters working.

I haven't had much time to do any work on the Rover P5b for a while.One thing I did do was have another go at getting the heater to work.I'd already taken off the heater pipes and flushed it through and set the levers as per the manual.Someone suggsted the internal flaps might be seized so I had another go at taking off all the levers and cables,freed off the spindles and reconneted everything,it seems to be working although I've yet to take it for a long run,too busy at the moment getting ready to move.
Filling the radiator on these cars has to be done in a certain way,topping up with the engine hot and ticking over otherwise they have air locks in the cooling system that cause all sorts of problems.
