The Low Loader Thread

How inconvenient! Hopefully easily resolved.

Oh dear, that could have been fatal....failed oil cooler lines?

 

[Ewan]

I think its just a fuel line, rather than an oil line. They clip together, so hopefully there's been no harm done and a new clip will sort it.

"The Venturi effect is the reduction in fluid pressure that results when a fluid flows through a constricted section of a pipe."

Oops

 

[Contigo]

Very aptly named then ! Maybe a blocked hose by the sounds of it!

Forgot to add this after Le Mans.

Here's a working Venturi in Arnage.

Surely you must have been able to diagnose it then

Good news:
1. The problem with the Atlantique turned out to be not serious and an easy fix. The fuel pipe had come off the fuel rail. Now all back together and working fine.
2. The new toy has landed - Ferrari 599GTB. So now we have 36 of Ferrari's finest cylinders.

Win, win then Ewan, very good news. Now if I can pop down and have the keys to your garage & cars for a few hours, it will be win, win, win!

 

[Ewan]

It's my business partner that has bought the 599 (not me). We're now trying to arrange a new unit to store all the cars, as the one we bought last year we foolishly decided to let out instead.

At the end of our business park a large unit is now available, but we only only need a small segment (enough for 20 cars). The owner wants to sell or let the whole thing to one person, but we'll see where the negotiations end up. It would be great to have them all lined up, under covers, in one place. Our own private toy shop.

36 cylinders eh; not jealous at all....!

Dark blur Ghibli being pulled onto a low loader with the smashed in front bumper, lights etc.....100 yards from Dick Lovett Swindon.

I saw that, felt very badly for the poor chap. I suppose it didn't have far to go. From where it was it must have just left DL so I really hope he hadn't just collected it.

 

[Andyk]

Yep must of only just left DL....you would have been gutted.

Unscheduled dump of fluids on the way to the office in the Venturi this morning. Another embarrassing appearance in the thread of shame.

Just a quick question Ewan, is your Venturi an automatic? If so is it not a bad idea to tow with the car in Neutral?

 

[Ewan]

Mine's a manual. In fact, all 12 of the biturbo Atlantiques are manual. All sorted now - just need to find time to go up to Leicester to collect it.

 

[Jkulin]

Good to hear Ewan.
