Fellas, my car started overheating the other day, pulled over and the thermo fan (little fan between radiator and bumper) had stopped working. Checked the fuses and all ok so I guess the actual fan motor is stuffed. If you've got one you don't need and you know it works drop me a pm or sms if you're in Melbourne to 0411 453 770.

Cheers,

George.

^^ Don't know brother, I thought that the motor not showing any power meant it was rooted. I tried the engine fuse box and all the fuses and relays are working fine, changed them around and all worked to prove it. I say the fan motor is shagged.

The fan is a power consumer, not a power generator. If you can't detect any power at either terminal, then there is a problem elsewhere that is preventing the delivery of current to the fan motor.

Try applying direct battery power across the terminals of the fan motor.

Also, this fan is controlled by the thermal switch in the bottom tank of the radiator - check it is working.

george dont worry about it hey....

its only an engine over heat fan....

when it gets too hot it switches on automaticly via the sensor in the drivers side of the radiator with the green plug its not a normal engine thermo nor is it a air con fan... this is 100% correct i wouldnt stress mate....

maybe look into the health of your fan hub should overheating become common... i just happen to have a brand new one here if you find yours to be faulty

btw hows dulan going? is he back from his holiday??

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
