As I will be offline till after Christmas and I just wanted to wish all a Merry Christmas. While I no longer have an Elan I still visit regularly and enjoy our distance camaraderie.

Take care all,

Would just like to give thanks to all those who made my life a little easier in getting my Elan on the road. The list is long. Now it I could just get some temperature in this beast. A quick trip early this morning up to Irvine, CA for Cars and Coffee, was more than a bit nippy. It was 1c/34f when I left this morning. Couldn't get the car up to more than 71c/160f, and that was after 40 miles of driving. By then I was close to numb. Have a 90c/195f thermostat, but it still will not get up to a good operating temperature. More work to be done.

Have a safe and merry, and thanks to all.

Assuming all else is well, try a winter-rated thermostat (70 degrees C)
OR
a piece of stiff cardboard covering half the radiator (which can be increased/decreased in size as per the results of roadtesting).

Regards and Seasons Greetings to all,
Stuart.
