now 1st of all i disconected the fans and ran a switch to the dash so i could operate fans myself coz originaly i was lead to believe the problem lied there but even after doing that when i drove car after a short while it still cut out on me

i just have no idear why this is happening and fucking doing my head in now thing is stuck in the garage with no way of moving it as work blocked using there truck

really fed up and seriously considering putting it up for sale coz starting to lose heart now

had someone round last nite to have look at the running problems but still no nearer to finding out whats causing car to keep cutting ot he said he would pop over next sat for a more detailed look.

getting proper fed up now andif i dont sort this problem out soon or at least identify problem then i think i will sell or px 3dr coz having it sitting in garage all the time is no good to me and aint got the dosh right now to take it to a garage

proper fucked off with it now

get another relay and run the fans as a seperate circuit independent of the car loom until you can sort it.

your not selling it after that mission we pulled on your saph shell

already has a seperate circuit for the fans but when i initcialy thought problem was fan related etc i disconected plug to fan switch and ran a switch to the dash so i could have manual control over the fans so i could drive car and sort the wiring issues at another time,but after i had done that i took car out and after awhile even without the fans operating the car cut out and died on me again

also forgot to mention when fans cut in and car dies while fans are still running pulled ht lead out attached spark plug to it and im getting no spark

any ideas
