also fitted a new fan loom just before we went down, it uses each fan separately and has a switch to turn one of the fans on from inside the car when you want it on. Worked well while sat in the traffic waiting to get out of classic ford.

No worrys mate. love the 3dr by the way. Just bought the same rims for mine but trimmed arches and brought the wheels right out. Also had the middle nut machined right out where the cap goes so it looks like a centre lock and painted centre of wheels gold. Really smart rim for the money

Noticed a small oil leak coming from the crankcase end cover so I think it might be an engine out job to do that and the sump gasket and may aswell do all the seals too.
