Scenes of devastation from inside the old fan! One of the magnets has come loose, but it's hard to tell if this caused the meltdown, or is a symptom. Makes me think a 60A fuse may be too...
Yeah, I decided to install a bypass! I'm not entirely happy with it, due to the fat-knacker, maxi-blade fuse holder being the best I could find at Halfrauds. I'm going to re-do it in more permanent...
Tested everything: Fan ok, relay ok, no power from the single red wire to the relay - so it's deffo the "fusible link". Despite extensive googling, I can't find out exactly where this is - somewhere...
My cooling fan has died! Seized up and has melted all the wires. Even the relay had become stuck to the plug! However, I had a spare fan on my dead V70 P1. Everything identical, including the relay...
The owner turned out to be a Dutch Victor Meldrew, who complained about smoke from our BBQ and the volume of our music. We had no further contact after that! Shame really, as I'd have liked to find...
Who knows what you'll find in there? If it's anything like what my other half puts in mine, probably a tampon, salt sachets from McDonalds and a bunch of old till receipts!!:rotfl:
Oooops, forgot the pic!26300
Camping in France. What should roll up on the adjacent plot? Only a lovely, black 850 T5-R estate!! What are the chances of that happening?
Whooooo!!!! The glovebox catch on my 850 threw a dummy in the middle of France - with Sat Nav inside..... Just used the coat-hanger method (actually, using a meat skewer) - and after nearly an hour,...
Saw a Phase 1 V90 in Cambridge, last week. Didn't even realise that model existed! Was in great nick - bronzy-red colour.
"Polishing Police" - ROFL!! I'd better watch out - they'll be after me too :sinner::cop:
Unlikely on mine, as I haven't cleaned it yet. Oh, the shame, the shame :redface:
The Dis-car-nect comes with an optional fuse link, which when fitted in parallel with the device, keeps power flowing for anything that needs it, such as the alarm. It's only a 60 amp fuse, so as...
Just bought one of these, possibly as an extra theft deterrent. Any thoughts, good people? I can see it might be a faff, popping the bonnet every night - then remembering to reconnect every morning!...
You have exactly my problem, The Man.... My DS wiper (Bosch Aeroblade) is off the screen in the middle. I think the trick is to bend the spring steel strip between the hinged bit and the "hook" where...
Mine were definitely the wrong way round when I bought the car, as the RH/DS side was rubbing the bonnet. I suspect the first Autoglass Tech put them back on this way, but moved them up a spline -...
When I bought my 850R, I soon noticed that the driver's side arm was rubbing against the bonnet - I resolved to fix this, but before I had chance, I received a terminal stone hit on the A14 and had...
It's a Motronic minefield! Guess I'll just save my V70 ECU for posterity - and get my 850R one mapped/chipped via a visit to HLM sometime in the not-too-distant future :D
Oh, and my bloody DS...
I quite like the sound of these "dear change points" - does that mean I can swap my "old dear" for a new one? :D
Yup, it's auto - I see I have much to learn :dunce:
Just the usual economy/sport/winter settings - do these become redundant after a map?
I've been reading all the map/304 threads and am definitely up for having it done when money permits :D Sadly, a bent Volan and knackered tyre, due to one of the wonderful Suffolk/Cambridge potholes...
Do you mean the tiny ones that illuminate each individual switch? White plastic, twist-lock fitting? I had no success, when searching for some for my now defunct V70 P1, so I bought some tiny, 12v...
Can't beat a bit of worm drive, IMHO :D As long as it's 100% stainless (A2 good, A4 better), I'm a happy bunny!
