Advice from those who know

Poshhh in Aldi

We carried a general mechanics tool kit (spanners, sockets, screwdrivers etc) and then the all important cable ties, gaffer tape and crimp terminal kit.

Never used any of them, but better to have them than not.

Well got my tool kit sorted

Thanks for all your advice on that one

2nd Dizzy maybe a fuel pump as spares.

As a dizzy has been surgested would it be wise to have a spare cap and rotor arm ?

I have just renewed them and a new set of leads

If the old ones were ok take them! saves having to buy a set.

Had to bin them

Anyone know how to clean a 2nd hand radiator(inside and out)

you can get some rad flush you put in the system, just put it in the header tank which is usually in the loft, I've get 12 radiators in my house so about 2 litres should do it, as for the outside i just painted my ones..........is this the right thread General discussions ,banter etc it seems to be getting very serious. Anyway hope the advice helps

Re the radiator am cheating and letting some one else sort it as they are fitting a double fan as well and only charging £40 for the whole job

Hi again all

Anyone know how to check to see if the fans are working,electric fans that some one wired up for me,i think they might have done it wrong and dont know if they got damaged in the fire.

all advice welcome

Just disconnect the wires to the fans and run them straight from a battery. That will check the fans.
You will then need to check the sensor. This can be done by either running the engine until it gets hot and seeing if the fans kick in, or remove the sensor from it's housing and place the end in boiling water. It should switch the fans on.

Thanks

Does anyone have any thoughts on fans as these cost a lot of money and if they dont work im not sure weather to just go back to the normal old one

Stick with the electric ones - if they test out OK. More efficient than standard.
Can have a play with it on Sat at the show if you like.

Thanks but hope to have them sorted by then,if it gets there attempted to drive it today and not working properly getting high revs but no power (3000 reves doing 10mph)

By any chance do you have any expolsives

There is almost no problem that cannot be solved with a suitable application of high explosive!!!!!

Especially on a Lan......Lan......... one of those

Don't let Toby hear you say that!

Just to let you know myself and Julie just spent the last 4 hours striping down the fans,checked all the wiring and putting it all back together again


AND THEY WORK!!!!

Chuffed to bits

All good practice for June 2012

Hope its the last time i have to do them

Good news, as Keith says, good practice!!

Once bush cables are fitted, they provide protection to the windscreen by forcing tree branches away during serious off roading. Bush cables are made from stainless steel, so will last and are rust free.

Perhaps he's on holiday.

I fitted bush cables for 2010. I think the only use they actually got was to hang the tea towel out to dry!!!!
