    Electric fan, suck or blow?

    As to getting heat out of the engine bay, the idea of a separate fan mounted somewhere (where???) to help shirt the hot air would be good. But surely throwing cool air in from the front will push more air out of the engine bay anyway?? I realise not in the ideal direction when stationary, but we can't have everything......


    I'm with Clive here. Has anyone tried using 12v PC fans to extract hot air from the engine bay. They should, at least, be reliable given the work they're expected to do?

    Electric water pumps should help too.

    .......ever thought of making a simple vacuum tank to assist bleeding you need a fairly strong can, oil cans may collapse

    drill small hole in top to take the bleed tube,  connct vacuum cleaner to the oil can........


    Did the same kind of thing but used the intake of a cheap 12v tyre compressor/pump. Worked well, you don't need a lot of vacuum to suck the fluid out of a brake system.

    Quoted from Nick Moore
    I left the back of the car toasting in 30C sunshine this afternoon to try and dry out, and when I'm satisfied that the moisture is gone,*

    Actually he didn't use the word difficult, he used a technical term **


    * What was the humidity?

    ** "fiddlesticks"?

    Shouldn't make any difference but have you swapped the shockers over to see if it does?

    If the ride height is the same on both sides and the shocks are identical then the asymmetry must be caused by different mounting points, or methods, L to R.

    Just grabbed the doors and twisted them!


    Had a mate who was a panel beater, he used the same method. I almost fell over the first time I saw him grab a door and reef on it.

    I'm sorry but I have to disagree with the opinions above. You need to sit and think for a bit, measure everything up, decide what needs to be moved and where! Then, after a slow and considered, judicious even, appraisal of the "facts" take a FBH and belt the sucker!

    Good luck,
    Cheers, James
