Checking Over

We have recently welcomed back the 1964 Daimler 250 V8. After under going restoration/recommissioning by ourselves last year, the car was given back to its owner to be enjoyed and used – the car was then brought back to ourselves to be put into winter storage, something many of our customers ask us to do.

With that, we were tasked with looking into a slight leak from underneath the 1960s V8 saloon car.

Our technician James was tasked with tracking down the cause of the leak and at the same time, nut and bolt checking the underside of the car to make sure everything was all ok. During the inspection, James found several fluid leaks on the car, mainly from the power steering pump. To confirm this, the team have cleaned down the area surrounding the connections to power steering pump to allow for a clean environment to look closer and find out specifically where the leak is coming from.

Along with that, they did notice a very small weep from the back of the engine sump and have also thoroughly cleaned that down to investigate into this area further and pinpoint the area which needs attention.
