Another great day at Castle Combe and great weather to go with it! Thanks for all your hard work guys and gals. Sadly my TF decided it didn't like going home as when I stopped for a cuppa at the services it immediately overheated after being as good as gold all day! Managed to get home by deft use of the heater to reduce the temperature as needed and will investigate tomorrow but I already suspect the radiator fan or it's fuse as the culprit. (Even stranger was the fact that Stu Forbes spent all day worried about his rad fan! :p )

It is on the same fuse as the engine compartment fan. I kept blowing said fuse until I discovered FOD jammed in the fan. You may have collected some rubber pickup on track.

A belated thank you to all the MGOT organisers for another fantastic track day. You did particularly well with the weather although at times it was a little too warm! First time at Castle Combe and it really is a great little track. I was a little worried about the noise test but snuck in at 94db. Had some tuition with Ben and just about got it by the last session of the day. That's probably it for this year but looking forward to 2015 already!
