That’s what I was wondering to be honest. Maybe the old one was never firing up. It comes on with ignition live I.e. before you start it up. Thought that was odd.
I’m fairly sure it’s running sweet. Hasn’t spiked on temperature and doesn’t ever...
Do they not start in the "locked" position then go lose shortly after?
I thought in general they usually fail in the lose position.
Sorry for the crap technical terms, engine bay looks proper tidy.
What brand rad did you buy in the end?
Hmm maybe. I’ll run for bit but thought I would’ve noticed before. Unless it’s on the wrong way which it surely couldn’t be 😂
It’s Nissens rad. Bloody minefield trying to work out what to buy. I check it all over enough and have low coolant...
