My wife said I needed a hobby.....so imagine my surprise when I showed her a picture of a kit car, and said "Let me build this.."......and she said "I think that's a great idea!" So this blog is a chronicle of my efforts to piece together a Birkin S3 Clubman, and a tribute to my wife's patience and understanding.

Cooling System - Part 3
I know in previous Cooling system posts I said I was finished....but it had not been filled with water/coolant. Yesterday I filled it with water only, to see if it was water tight. It is!!!! I have to pressurize it, but this is the first time something hasn't leaked. What I found was I needed to reposition the P clips holding the rail a little lower, and I added the the overflow hose from the neck to the expansion tank. Since it hasn't leaked, I have put the radiator cap on. Once it is started and running I will drain the water and replace with coolant, and I have also decided to relocate the expansion tank to the scuttle, which will shorten all the hoses, but it will look better and be a lot easier to access. I will post a photo of the new expansion tank position once moved.
