Might be a good idea to wrap a couple of turns of
white teflon tape around the base of the threads
of the sensor to insure against leaks ?
If you have not bought the sensor yet, you can do this.
In the meantime, I think you can bypass the sensor
to let the fan run directly. I believe the sensor (actually
just a bimetallic strip) is just a link between the fan's
negative wire and earth, with the radiator's body acting
as the earth.
Just disconnect it, and connect a jumper wire from
the fan's connector to any body earth, say the
radiator mounting nut.
The fan will run continously the moment the ignition
key is turned to "ACC", and the engine will run a bit
cool (probably up to the first quarter mark), but should
be alright.
As for the fuse, I'm a new owner too, not sure where
the fuse box is located, but I think I see a panel for one
under the right side of the dashboard ?
Added on August 9, 2010, 6:15 pmSame here from the 1997 saloon which I've just
started taking over from my brother, though the
engine mounting shake is not very bad.
If you can live it, leave it alone for the moment.
I remember checking the mountings cost on the
net and not really cheap - four in all, front, back,
sides.
Call James of Universal Auto at 03-922 11 900
and check the prices.
Try raising both your idle speed and FICD to say
1,100 rpm.
The "bling blang" sound may be from the doors or
maybe the floor panels below them. I get them
even when just going over slightly rough roads and
was wondering what it was. Sounds like we are driving
a lorry, right ? I just ignore it.
Otherwise, will have to check with a mudguard man.
really hate the "lorry" feel...aahaaha...hope there's something that i can do to rectify this
