The 1936 Riley Merlin Nine has been in the Bridge Classic Cars restoration workshop for the team to take a look into the pre-war saloon car. Our technician Oscar has gone through the car from front to back to take a look at each system.

The main issue, is the coolant pipe. After looking through the coolant system Oscar found quite a lot of corrosion in the pipe as well as the bolts so Oscar has redone that part of the car to get it working properly. Also, he noticed the fan belt tension was incorrect and that each of the tyres was showing cracks along with a dust cover for the NSF steering joint was missing.
