    Aye, that's deffo an idea, not sure what happens if the car fails tho. I'll give the guy a shout and see if he thinks it's do-able. Cheers fella.

     

    If they shy away from the suggestion it will probably mean they are hiding something!

    Time for the multimeter I think Martin... Can you bypass the loom and plug the original loom in to see if that was OK?

     

    I'm not familiar with using a mutimeter :oops: I will try putting the wiring back to original to see what happens.

    VR6 South, do the relays go into a relay plate rather than wires?

     

    If so check the new relay has the same pin positions as the old as I have seen some that are different...

     

    It does not use a relay plate, but I may have got it mixed up if the connections are in a different place

    So - you have an aftermarket headlight loom, and your rad fans are going bonkers. I wonder if the two are connected?

    Who hacked about your headlight loom, and when did the rad fans start playing up?

     

    I fitted the loom about 6 years ago and have had no problems until now. I'm putting the fans going weird as a coinsidence (at the moment).

    My rad fans come on after the ignition is switched off even if the engine hasn't run and is stone cold. They turn on and off for no apparent reason and stop if I remove and then replace the 20a fuse which supplies the relay. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    I've just tried a replacement relay and it hasn't fixed the problem :? The problem is that the dipped lights only come on when the main beam is on. My uprated loom is only for the dipped beam and I've checked all of the connections and fuses. Any ideas?

    I think I've got one knocking about somewhere if you can't sort it by tuesday. I could meet you in Fareham at some point if you wanted. I couldn't guarantee how good it was though.

     

    Cheers for the offer Toad. There's no rush as the car will be off the road for a couple of weeks. I'm going to take a look today to see if any of my spare relays fit.

    40 Amp 12v one will do nicely. The difference in the sndpo (???) and the other one is the number of connections on the bottom. Don't worry though. for headlamp looms, they are interchangable.

     

    Cheers Toad. I think I've got a spare in the garage along with all the parts which I've taken of the C getting ready for the respray :D

    I used a aerosol foam upholstery cleaner from a local motor factors, followed up with a light rub with some white towelling to ensure that there were no water marks and dirt remaining. It did a really good job.

    When mine packed in I just went to Maplins - they do a 40A auto relay which works fine. Just take out your old one, go to the shop and check the terminal numbers match up with the new one.

     

    Cheers. It sounds fairly straight forward.
