theres a wiring loom connection by the radiator down one side im sure it unscrews/un plugs remove this and check all the connections are fine im sure ive read this plug gives issues?

Isn't this the one that also catches fire and has resulted in peoples cars burning out?

Yes. I'm fairly sure there is a thread about this being a serious fire risk. I'll see if I can find it.

Not the exact thread but confirms it has been an issue for members in the past...

Correct, it can in some instances cause fires. You need to split that plug by the rad and check it for corrosion. If there is any it can be cleaned up with some lighter gas. , clean up all the pins and put the plug back together then cover it in white grease to prevent water ingress.

Scary shit. I know mines ok as ive just swapped the engine out but ill check my other halves one. Specially as we have a little one strapped in to it all the time
