Fixing TLN on the Milano for spring.



Oh, yeah, TLN= Tender Loving Neglect.

-New brake accumulator installed after reading about same in this digest.
Pumps up in about 2 sec vs. the 45 it used to take. EZ job.

-New short hoses (and all the rest while I was at it) between the
thermostat housing and the front of the heads. These two little leakers
were hard as a rock and leaked right where it looked like the water pump.
The pump still does not leak after 70K miles.

-Replaced the mouse-eaten hood liner with a new one from Paul Spruell Alfa.
Cost, $41 + a couple of bucks for the clips. Vast improvement in looks.

-Pumped up the tires and gave it an Italian tune-up - man, what a blast!

Moral: It might not be a water pump if it leaks and, also,  it's nearly
spring--time to get your Alfas on the road!
