Short Drive

Went for a short drive at lunch today, just to test things. Engine running well, oil filter cover needed tightening, and in the beginning the clutch pedal briefly made a whirring noise when depressed. I think this is the bearing in need of lubrication, but in any event the noise went away after a short while. Something to pay attention to, however.

Biggest event was the Kodiak core springing a leak as the coolant system pressurised, which made the cabin into a foggy sauna until I turned the unit off. A new core is in order; I'm pretty sure the one in there is the original, and so, as with many of the older parts on this Land Rover, it's not really a surprise.

Beautiful day for a drive: +5 C, in February!!!
