Is it just me that keeps thinking about Trigger's broom from Only Fools and Horses when reading this thread? Trigger And that's what I've done. Maintained it for 20 years. This old broom's had 17 new heads and 14 new handles in its time. Sid How the hell can it be the same bloody broom then...

I certainly didn't need it today!!

I've sent you a PM. Any notes are more than welcome!!

Thanks FlyingPete and Turboman, looks like I have a two stage job. 1. Check and secure what's already there, and add a thermo switch if not too expensive 2. Longer term, look to refit a viscous fan, I agree Turboman, I like to have things as they were designed to be. (Unless, of course, it's...

I thought I did. But obviously I'm being a bit dim. (Not helped by a trip to the pub last night). I think I'll take a pencil and paper and draw it out while look g at the fan. (I thought the relay would still have to physically be positioned where the 2 wires became 3, and I can't see one...

Thanks. Will definitely look into it.

Thanks. Looks like another job for the list. Why would you recommend the viscous fan over electric? I thought / have read that it drains hp.

Thanks for this. I just read that when they are wired correctly they are hardly ever activated, except when engine is working hard on a hot day. But I'll take your advice and leave it alone.

Thanks for this. Yes it all makes sense, except following the diagram, the relay should be where all 3 wires meet, I.e. Somewhere in the electrical tape, but there doesn't seem to be anything in there bigger than a wire connector of some sort. How big would a relay be?

Right, I'm back with another newbie query. Land Rover 90 fitted with 200Tdi At some point in its history someone has replaced the viscous fan with an electric - looks cheap and cheerful with Japanese writing on it. The fan operates whenever the ignition is on, even if cold, even if the...

Looks excellent. Careful, we'll all start sending you our knackered seats for repair. I've got two here waiting for you!!

Don't worry, you'll soon get the effect. Train windows are flat!! You can watch whatever the person I front of you is watching on their laptop by looking at the window. Of course this should act as warning that the person behind you can watch whatever porn you are viewing!!!

Good idea. Though I imagine if I do that they might end up permanently fitted down the middle of the bed!

Ok. Now I feel really stupid. :confused: That will do the trick!! I'll just have to see how the front sits, but sure I can bodge something. Now I just need to strip them and get them cleaned up and painted. Oh well, if the Mrs wants a step ilk be doing it in the kitchen if this weather keeps...

Yes. The fronts are easy, they use the bolt that secures the bulkhead. In the fitting instructions I posted above there is a horizontal bracket, but now I've had another look at mine, I can't see where this would go, so I'll try without. The rears will attach as per the fitting instructions...

Sorry, I didn't mean the hole in the end of the outrigger. But in the first pic I posted above, there is a blanking plate that covers off the hole in the upright.

My lovely wife decided to buy me a couple of runners off fleabay for my birthday (not because she struggles to get in and so really a present for her, honest). They are rusty as anything, and the checker plate needs cleaning, but worst of all she managed to get them without the fittings. I've...

I'd never thought of that, but it makes a lot of sense. In reply to OP. Yes, it's normal. If you put a stereo with lots of lights on the dash as well, it really looks like a Christmas tree in your rear-view mirror

Thanks for this. I'll add to the shopping list, for a few pence I might as well swap it out
