"Outatime Wrote:So when I go to purchase one of these from auto part stores, will it come with the clip and rubber gasket? Or the switch on its own? And is it a straight swap?

They come with a new seal , they actually say on them 'do not reuse'

Seen some held up with the factory 'c' shaped clip (part 22) , some with a cable tie, just as long as there is something on there to stop the thing possibly blowing out.

tracey steele Wrote:right found the problem for now, it`s the fan fail relay switch thats located in the fuse box thats packed up, we`ve bodged it up for now so that the fan is staying on all the time when the engine s running,does any body know where i can get one from,

ps it back for another test tommorrow fingers crossed


If you put a jumper wire in like NickT says, i have a feeling your fan will come on. It could be that it is not getting any power to it from the relay base at the moment.

As you can see on here each fan has its own +ve supply from this socket.

well that includes Flopsy..... I *think* all she needs is a new washer pump (she's had 2 in the last 12 months.....), so I'll get the battery on charge tonight as when I turned the key in the ignition the other week the battery was as flat as the proverbial witches tit Sad

I'll get her MOT'd some time over the next couple of weeks, then tax her from 1st June. Might even give her a clean too.... :wink:

Bloody Hell, That last one didnt last long at all Shock

I think it might be time to rethink the whole pump layout and have a remote pump. Are the drain holes in the bottom of the washer bottle cover blocked ?

- bozzzydmc - 04 May 2007

That sounds like a good idea Dan

An inline pump with a check valve on it to keep it primed

- Guinney1971 - 04 May 2007

hiya, well the pump I bought back in Jan/Feb time got used on Rapey as her one was buggered too and she needed it for her MOT - it was still running (just) but had about as much suction as an asthmatic hamster. :roll:

I guess the box thingy is blocked up again, will have to make the drain holes bigger - which is what Phill did with Sorbet's one for her MOT in Feb.

I sooooo want to be able to come to Eurotec in Flopsy, I'll be absolutely gutted if I'm not up to it. Right now, I feel like I've been smacked across the collarbone with a baseball bat I'm in that much pain Sad I cant believe I'm still hurting so much 4 months after the accident. Whilst any compo that the solicitors can get me will come in handy, I'd rather be fit and well instead of pumping myself full of codeine and ibuprofen every day.

Talk about making my day !

Thanks to bozzzy for giving me some info over the phone at short notice because I had to have a manual MOT done as the DVLA computer system was apparently down.
