Re: Scavenger Fan Override?
For what reason? For when it's getting hot?
If so, you can put aircon on and open the windows.
I was advised of this by Northern bongolow (Ady)
The other week and it worked a treat when I was stuck in
Traffic. Dropped about 5 degrees in ten minutes.

Re: Oil everywhere
Hi Ian. Just spoken to Ady and I'm taking the radiator
over to him. I am sure he will let you know what's gone on. Still be nice to see when you over this way. Thanks again for your help.

Re: Oil everywhere
Well as an update, should you be interested, I drove the van 30 odd miles this morning. I kept an eye on the temperature alarm and it showed roughly the same range as before the radiator went. The van seemed to be running ok and the gears are shifting fine. I am going to drive her for the rest of th...

Re: Oil everywhere
Well folks it's not the pipes phew!! My usual mechanic spotted a leak at the bottom of the radiator.
Driving had sprayed the oil all over the underside of the van. Replacement rad on the way.
Many thanks to Ian for this, very good service.

Oil everywhere
Hi all, Just back from a trip away. On the way back the van started to struggle shifting up gear. When I got home I Checked under the van. I found oil sprayed mainly under the drivers side wheel arch, and all the way along the passenger's side. In short anyone have any ideas what this might be? Than...

Re: Rear arches
Looking forward to the next installment. I think £700 for both sides is a good deal. Who did it Ady?
