Subject: Re: Engine Coolant Filters
The particular problem with Lagondas I believe (especially the 4.5 litre) is that the type of material used for the blocks in the 1930s continuously eroded and could therefore quickly block radiators (and filters). It does not stop eroding and is still doing so 80 years later !
This may not be the case with the modern replacement blocks as presumably they are made with modern materials ? However it is still a problem for those of us with original blocks (like me !).
Anyone else care to comment please ?
