Final Repairs

These are Jonn’s notes on the final repairs made to our 1981 Austin Vanden Plas before it goes to its new home tomorrow.

Attend to oil leak again. Check oil level. Too high. Drain some oil out and recheck levels. Just under max , ok. Inspect around area as ca4 has not been run so cannot be leaking from lift pump gaskets. Timing chain tensioner directly above lift pump appears wet. Clean area down and remove timing chain tensioner adjuster bolt in centre. Found bolt loose. Clean and replace copper washer and secure. Run and test. Still dry. Take outside and carry out road test. Drives ok. Speedo working.
