Hmmm. not really. I was doing some testing with my gobo mount again the other night so you can hear little snippets of it between the noise of the wind. Thats when it was blowing a little too. Il see if i can get anything during the week.

christ how much does that engine move? 

[madmanluke]

That was quite a large wheel spin. + they are standard rear mounts. id hate to think what it would look like standard mounts all round....

i guess its cos i've never paid attention to how much movement an engine displays when wheelspinning 

i remember you'd hockey pucked the front, but have you thought about a solid front mount? i have nothing bad to report so far (although i've done less than 50 miles on it)

[madmanluke]

Ive got nothing bad to report about one either after 15000 miles on it

Well the last two days ive been to leeds and back (via birmingham) and i seem to have developed two issues.
The fans are on constantly, and seem to be at full pelt. Not normal speed like it would usualy.  The fix I had was to pull the fuse out when moving. Push it the fuse back in when sitting in traffic. wasnt fun I tell thee.  Not sure what the issue is. Nothing is bridging so making a circuit. Possibly faulty fan controller/ temp sender on the radiator?


The other issue is the battery light seems to flick on and off depending what kind of bumps I hit. Ive checked it all over and I cant find anything immediately wrong so thinking it could be a loose connection on the clocks/fusebox? Could well be a fault with the alternator.

chuck a new radfan switch in, i got a febi one (3 inline pins) part number 01528. just screws in.

if the central pin is offset, get febi 10114
