Body Kit fitted

by Teejay » Sun Dec 01, 2013 12:23 pm

Found someone to do the recore, Coolex in Notts,, £108 + VAT - taking it up on Wednesday so the 3.2 should be back on the road by next weekend.
Also sorted out an issue I've had with the other V6
At night with the headlights on the main beam would constantly flicker on and off p*****g off oncoming traffic
Thanks to Mr Gibson, a new indicator stalk sorted it!!!! - beer at Billing for you mate

Here's the knackered little fecker!

First rad into the 3.2!!!
Top tip everyone, remember to put the vent back under the slam panel to connect the alternator cooling duct to BEFORE you put the rad in NOT after!!!
While reconnecting the temp sensor I came across an unconnected cable hanging down
I haven't the foggiest idea what it's for - any suggestions?
Looks like a two core connector on the end

I'll whip the front bumper off at the weekend and grab a pic
What kind of connector goes to the secondary water pump?
Could it be that? (Not that I disconnected that)
The only other thing I can think of is power to the a/c compressor???

Did you modify the Radiator Fan Switch?

It looks to have been chopped... :think:
