Default Found the problem

Had to push the cossie into Ford Fair yesterday cos the fans didn't kick in and it overheated. Anyway I found out why today



It's made a bit of a mess and was wondering if I should change the fuse box just to be on the safe side. Don't want it to go up in flames or anything.

Big thumbs up to the guy who helped push think it was BIG.GEOFF. Cheers mate.

I make a few here and there for local people who ask me but I don't promise them when they will be ready. I have far far too much work going on at work and at home unfotunately.

Seems like a common problem then. Oh well, what would a cossie be like if you didn't have to fix it every 2 minutes
