**JRP** · 04-11-2009, 19:57

Running.

A few small hitches, the odd leak... looks like ive corrected all those.

Fan not working/comming on.

Tryed bridging connection but nothing.

Tested the fan on a live and it works.... thinking connections, tryed different relays etc still nothing...

I would have thought that bridging the fan as in the way i would wire it to inside the car for over ride would work, but nothing.

Anybody handy with electrics etc, as id like to leave te car running for ages just to see how it heats cools, runs, vlah blah

Any ideas?

**JRP** · 04-11-2009, 20:42

Im so happy

If it was me i would unplug the fan then bridge a piece of wire to the earth connection and just wedge it back into the plug and then try shorting the earth connection to the battery and see if it comes on when upto temperature, if it does then you know you have an earth problem somewhere, if it still does not work try the same but this time all you need to do is connect the live to the battery, you do not need to wait for it to heat up and see if it comes on, if it does then there is a live problem, then its a case of tracing back wards, a little bit of a bodge but at least if your careful you can do this with no specific experience or tools.

**James5** · 04-11-2009, 21:07

Lost all enthusiasm.. yeah i cant spell... maybe thats my downfall.. at a loss, might leave it for a few years to fester and rot in the damp...

**scratcher** · 22-11-2009, 02:51

Don't lose hope. I've had parts disapear... well, given to someone to acid dip and skim a head, and put new pistons on rods for them to vanish off the face of the earth.

Give it a few day, and think of all the work thats gone into getting it this far.

Im over that, i have to be just like when R5gttraider mugged me off. End of the day id of ended giving said parts away lol.

Just work stopped paying me now, still not deemed fit enough, wont be long till they sack me... no money... xmas on the way... using betting account to live so now thats being hammerd and not in a betting sense.. and that was really what funded the 5 in the first place.

Not to mention the help from all my friends from this place, and those who have helped, im extremly greatful.. it has not gone un noticed, i will be there when you need.

Its because of these people ile keep going on the 5, or it would be a huge let dow to all helping hands involved.. ive learnt who is helpful and a good friend, also learnt that alot of people just mean well non stop... and those who dont.. well let them be nasty and take things just hope you get caught by a meanie one day... if i caught you, you know id forgive instantly there for i guess thats why i find my self mugged off so often.

be it not for most people, even those tiny comment on this thread with nice things to say, id of given up long ago.

Ta folks

I get the impression your gonna cherish the car big time, hence talk of carcoons etc in other threads. In which case i'd imagine o.e. all the way, and being as proud as anything at shows of how it looks, and the comments you'll get back.

However, if you get a little bored.....which we all do, fitting a sidey is an hours job max!
at the end of the the day a sidey does sound good. Keep your options open.

**philg** · 27-11-2009, 11:14

mate your car is looking sweet, i wish mine was at that point. White rock

1. Spark plugs

3. Iam guessing opie oils is cheapest?
4. Gear oil, (opie oils???)

Also to do

New brake resivour (mikey baby)
O.e exhaust back on rather than sidey
Boot badges, on hunt for mint badges from a white gt turbo
New fogs and indicators
New wiper blades and arms
Refurb 4x speedlines and re paint Cup rims
8 x uniroyal tyres (new)
Finnish off interior

MOT Tax

smoke me a kipper skipper that will be it

Close so close

**Allan_100** · 09-12-2009, 01:33

how do mate. I dont know you personally but I cant believe how much hard work you and your friends have put into this car! It looks amazing!!

Ive bought a red 5 GT turbo myself with the intention of doing the same thing but could only dream of it being as stunning as yours! Shows what you can do if you put your mind to it and have friends like yours to help see it through

Dont give up on this mate, its a credit to you. Keep up the good work and I hope everything works out for you with your back problems, work etc.

Cheerio!

**Allan_100** · 09-12-2009, 01:39
