Right chaps,
Massive thanks to Sam and Niall who came over this morning again for part 2 of the saga of fixing my car!
Hub sorted
Loom changed and sorted (after a few teething issues with the fuel pump mot priming, which turned out to be an earth not connected!
New battery bought (bosch silver top. I have no money left!!)
Still this issue with the temperature though.
It starts and runs up to temp normally and then as soon as it gets to about 85 whenever the car is revved pretty much it starts to climb. It jumps about a bit occasionally when driving, and now the fans don't kick in whereas they did with the original loom.
Does anyone have any bright ideas? I was going to change the blue temperature sensor for the xsi one Sam brought down, but it was different in style so decided to leave the existing one there...
I've definitely led the thing up, it's been bled so many frigging times, and after driving back from halfrauds in Guildford I double double checked again and it's definitely got no air in the thermostat that could affect the sensor (however it would do that...?) and the heater definitely blows jot in the car after like 3mins if driving from cold, so yeah I'm completely stumped. It's scary as seeing it shoot right up, and now the fans dint come on either (could just be its reading the correct temperature rather than whatever the gauge sensor is reading, but could also completely not be working as well....) it gets to me a bit!
It does drive a heap better with the wishbone and hub sorted though which is a bonus!
