    I think that they were all Mazda by then... anyone? (Crossed post.) Jonathan

    What year is it? And can you find a drain plug on the left side in addition to the filler plug? Jonathan
  3. Jonathan Kay
    Do you want to drain and replace? Or only check level and top up? And which gearbox is it? Jonathan
  4. Jonathan Kay
    Yes, you can fit a new nipple. Bike technology. There are some suggestions in the archives. Jonathan

    "A good tip if they are a bit loose is to buy some heartstrings sleeve." Heatshrink? Jonathan

    If it's all dry externally ... What's the appearance of the coolant and the engine oil? How are you filling it and trying to make sure that there isn't any air left in there? What sort of thermostat do you have, and does it have the magic hole? Jonathan

    I don't understand what you're observing. Black/Green is the usual colour for the feed to the fan. Is there a Black earth in the same connector? I suggest disconnecting at that connector and measuring the voltage between the two terminals on the chassis side of the connector. Ignition OFF. Ignition ON but engine cold. Jonathan

    "When cold and the fan not running I get 12v at the fan plug, when it reaches 97 and gets the signal from the ECU it reads 12.5-13.5v is that slight increase in voltage what switches on the fan?" Where are you putting the other probe? And what colours are the wires to the fan motor? Jonathan

    Previous discussion. I can't find a template. Jonathan

    "... I would not expect to see 12v while the engine is cranking, given the small battery. It is likely to be nearer 10v." I'd be concerned about the state of the battery by anything below 10.5 V while cranking. And some electronics on some Sevens gets unhappy. Jonathan

    Well done. Thanks for the update. And check that loading at the brackets as you remove it! Jonathan

    As above. Please let me know if you'd like a copy of the Assembly Guide. Jonathan

    "It would also be worth checking the earth side for continuity." Yes. And before removing the pump I'd run a good feed and earth directly to it. Jonathan

    As above. But if it's a metal can type you can also transfix it with a screwdriver and then use that as a lever. Jonathan

    I try to avoid any sealing compounds for radiators or hoses. Jonathan
  24. Jonathan Kay
    Yours doesn't look like the same sort of fault that has recently affected so many aluminium radiators. But I'd still check that there aren't any twisting or bending forces on the radiator from the mountings. It should clamp up nicely without these forces and you can check when you take it out.
