Welcome! If you know the previous owners user name you can search his old posts and get an honest history of the car! :wink:

Ha ha u nasty hairyarse lol u might have just droped that old owner in the poo now lol!!! might not have though ha ha

thanks for the welcomes guys (and gal)!!

Not sure he ever posted but i believe he did register the car….

As soon as i get home tonight from work (got to love browsing forums at work) i can get some pics uploaded.

Hope you theory test goes well today chrissie……

PS - have looked for stuff on overheating - previously there was a hole in the water tank.  A new expander replaced it and it is fine while driving along… however as soon as it gets into traffic the needle creeps up to the about where the red light bulb is. Could this be due to the fan not cutting in correctly?  (prob should post this in the engine forum as well hehe)  It has not started flashing since the expander was replaced but still strikes me as sitting a little bit too high.  any thoughts?

if the needle is sitting where the red light is, thats fine it should be about half wayish, which is something like 85 to 90 degrees c, the car is only over heating IF the red light comes on the whole area of the gauge is normal temp until the needle is at the far right and the redlight starts to flash.
Sounds OK to me, My series 1 sits right over towards the right on the gauge and has never boiled over yet.

the fan depending on the sensor fitted won't come on until as late as 97 degrees c.

As long as you can here the fan running and after a while cuts out you're fine

Thanks for this Hairyarse - i bought it off Grant.  He has made more posts than i originally thought on the site - so i have read a few hehe.  He is a good mate though and i know how well he looked after the car.

It is a lovely motor - i noticed he never managed to get any pics up himself so i will try and get some asap (preferebly when it is not raining!).

Like him - i am very happy to have been pointed in the direction of this site.  Lots of great info and even better - lots of nice people!
