Engine is all sorted and back together, just need a fan sender switch as the fan won't kick in at the moment.

Also needs new ARB links!

Why does that one Astra have a bonnet scoop? Does it have a turbo or something?

As a stop gap you can just connect the fan direct to the battery or via a rocker switch. In fact, I'd recommend fitting a rocker switch to override the fan control on ANY hard-driven or modified car.

Yeah, its going on as a switch on the dash, just like to know in the back of my mind that its working

Phil W · 16 Oct 2006 at 13:47

take the bulb out just in case it decides to come on again half way through the test.

better to be safe than mot-less

edit:dash bulb that is

MOT Fail.

Part of the MOT is to check the ABS via the specific flashing of the ABS light when you turn the car on.

There is a chart on the wall about how each model of car is supposed to flash.

No bulb, no MOT.

The MOT computer knows if you have ABS.

It's the worlds largest dedicated computer network (and it's brittish, yea!), Linux based.

The "busy" mouse icon is 4 pistons and a crankshaft going round (With little sparks). I so want it.
