Re: Dual Fan Wiring

Can someone upload a picture of where the fan wiring meets the loom. It is only £20 ish for a new loom and as mine has been butchered it is a no-brainer

Does this loom have 3 connections to the engine loom?

Cheers ...... Ole

Re: Dual Fan Wiring

Thanks for your reply Peter. Looks like I need to get a quick course in reading wiring diagrams! When my dad got the car back from Flying Cat on it’s journey home the oil pressure dropped. They picked it up and was instructed to deliver it in person when fixed. They parked the car on the drive, no i...

Re: Dual Fan Wiring

Hi Colin

Thanks for the pictures, all I can say is oh dear. Will need to see if I can work out why your relay has 5 wires going to it and mine has 2. Will need to chase them back when the radiator is off.

In the picture below there is a cut wire(arrowed), does anyone know if this is meant to be cut? 2. Also how many w...

Re: Coolant is crystalizing in bottom of radiator hoses

This part is part of my refresh in the next month and would be interested in further pictures of your findings.

I plan to put a thicker aluminium radiator with fans and header tank. Rather than have the old radiator restored.

Good luck with it.

Best Solution for Tidying Car up

Hi all I have been very fortunate to have the pleasure of looking after a V12 after my father can no longer drive and become it's new custodian. The car has sat for 3 years since it came back from a restorers call Flying Cat Engineers, not to be recommended. But that's another story. As I go through...

Battery Specification Help

Hi All I have tried Google and just being bombarded with sales and not specs. I am looking for the exact battery specification for a V12 and looking to buy a period version rather than just a 'Halfords' version. Any help for the wealth of knowledge on here would be gratefully received. I have tried ...

Hi from a Newbie

Hello everyone I soon take custodianship of a V12 roadster. The circumstances aren't great, but once she is running reliably again I will take my father out in her. He was her last keeper - but sadly he has Alzheimer's and I hope this may stir some memories. He has owned the car since 2002. I hope t...

Thank you for your reply. The car does not see much action to be honest, but last year it seemed to be fine.

I have decided to get it checked over as it is probably beyond me time wise.

V12 Auto Stalling when selecting Drive

When cold the car is fine, but when the car has been on a run and the engine is hot, selecting 'Drive' from neutral the car repeatedly stalls. Then when still hot, Drive is selected it works. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have searched, but could not find any information on this type of ...
