Re: AC Electrical Fault

Also… is there a a way to test the rad fans?

As when I bypassed the pressure switch the first time. One rad fan came on! Now none of them do…

Tried bypassing the relays b6-01/02/03
But no luck

Re: AC Electrical Fault

Hi, yeah that sounds fair, When we gassed it last year it wasnt working, but a the time he said that the AC Belt was missing, and that once fitted everything should work, if not he said it would be the compressor.. so he said he would leave the gas in, and any problems take it back and he will take ...

Re: AC Electrical Fault

So was actually really gased last year, hasn’t worked since,

Can these switches fail. Or is it likely just to be low pressure?

Re: AC Electrical Fault

So good news is…. If I short out the switch mentioned the clutch engages! And also one of the radiator fans started spinning, ( the first time it did the second time it didn’t) So now can I replace it with gas in the system? Or does it need to be drained first? Also after I shorted it and all was “w...

Oil leak location

Hello so I’m trying to hunt down my oil leak,,, Looks like it’s coming out of the water elbow joint to the cylinder head, Is this possible for oil to leak here or is it just a red herring? https://i.postimg.cc/7fR0r2tJ/68-FA9-FC4-87-FB-444-C-9-BAB-A5-D0-D61-D7967.png https://i.postimg.cc/BXbHzgpG/DE...

Re: Intermittant Oil Light

I left the level switch unplugged, and drove it around. And the light did not come back on! So am I right i...

Re: Front Fan .. Wits End

Hmm thanks! I bought 3 spare ones so might have to try again, would any of the other components in the transister pack be able to cause such an issue?

I’m just glad we have heating again!

Re: Front Fan .. Wits End

So fans ran perfectly for 2 months, Then decided to stop working again, Straight Way thought it was corrosion in the plug, so tried to clean it up and ended up removing the plug and crimping the wires together for now and I’ll replace the plug when I get home ( on holiday) unfortunately this did not...
