Car passed its MOT again. Nothing wrong with it (well nothing wrong with it once the leaking brake hose had been fixed by the garage).

Its survives for another year of abuse. cool

My handbrake would have been OK if I'd never used it since the last MOT! laugh

Oh well boys, could be worse, My Rallye's fail went on into two pages laugh Got 90% of the faults sorted though. That's the flipside - parts are peanuts.



Coopless!

Sort of sorted it, i wired a switch up to the dash so i can control the fans my self.Your right about the fault being the wrong sensor fitted but just havnt had chance to replace it yet (thermostat/ecu temp sensor)
Bockers i did solve another problem today when regassing my air con,when we looked at my fan at brooklands we removed/refitted the a/c fuses but never put one fully back in again hence why the air con didnt work (the one that dropped down the back of the engine and ended up on the grass). Anyway pushed fuse fully in and out blows cold air again, when retracting the gas i think we only got about 150g out.
