no im not an engineer, however i do know how to read a water temperature gauge

and no i didnt remove the viscous fan because it was ugly, taps is taking about another suplimentary fan which as std never kicks in till well after the cars already overheated n fooked, and has never worked on my car at all in std guise anyhow... i wired it in manually when my viscous fan was damaged beyond repair and i was unable to source a replacement and was v. surprised at how well it actually worked... its probably got something to do with the fact i properly flushed n bled the coolant beforehand and the cooling circuit was under very little strain.

the thing i find funny is that the car gets looked after a lot better than most... if something breaks... it gets fixed which is a lot more than i can say about most cars you see about. the difference is most people either keep quiet about any cockups, breakages etc. or know feck all about anything and dont even realise when things break...

once again thank you to the people whove taken the effort to explain about the minor rad blockage contributing to diffuculty during bleeding, its appreciated...

and to the people that jump on any little thing just to have a moan for the sake of it (as youre NOT justified in what you are saying)... fuck you...
