Well, at least you B drivers have a control of some kind in the cockpit. We have to stop, open the bonnet and reach under to the valve and move it manually. Larry Macy 78 Midget

Could be Bud. You know how these youngsters are! Personally I though a de-mister was a cotton cloth, I guess exhaust manifolds could be called "heaters", but the one that baffles me is "turn signals"

Sure Ross, "Turn-signals" are something like our "left-arm calisthenics" Oops, you're a TC-er. I guess that means "right-arm". What is the signal for a left turn from a RHD LBC? The mirror image of a

Ross, I must, shamefacedly, admit to having acquired the parts from Jarl DeBoer over the winter to install that new-fangled thingy in my TD. Beware of that fuel-indicator. I finally had to resort to

Hi Larry Macy!! As long as the po hasn't gone cheap on the anti-freeze, you're right. But, if the po HAS gone cheap, the worn out anti-rust chemicals can't stop the guts of the heater control valve f

I started the whole heater thread and will soon be replacing the valve. I figure I'll take this opportunity to flush the cooling system and replace the anti-freeze as well. Being in the unique positi

Yes, but it really doesn't matter unless the guy behind you knows that. I do it all the time (signal with my right arm in an upright L position) and most folks simply back off. I'm not sure if they d

HI Ryan Watson!! What I meant by "go cheap" was to leave the anti-freeze in as long as it looks good. The chemicals that stop water from freezing at 32 f. don't wear out, but the anti-corrosion chemi
