So....
What's the score with a GB sticker then? Do you have to attach one of those god damn awful things to your car or not?
I can see the reply of 'yes you do but we didn't' !!  |

You don't *have* to wear a lid for the Grande Parade... only the Scud.

Hey guys... just a final check that everyone is happy really.

Were ready up here... GTV has problem with the radiator fan (i.e. it never comes on). I'm looking into that now though - hopefully an easy fix.
If not I won't be stopping in any traffic!

Hmmm... appears to be a dodgey wire. How nice that it rests against the heater hose and melts through.
The fan has two thermo-contacts though on the TS engine, for fast fan and slow fan. So one might be working but not the other. Interesting... wonder if it needs fast fan and that bit is broken whether the fan comes on slow or not at all. Noone seems to know the answer to this one!!!!
The horrid "knocking suspension" problem I have is the windscreen wash slopping about in the tank. So there you have it... been into Alfas long enough to suspect the worst!
Bob

Hope it's an easy fix dude.
If not it may pay to permanantly wire it so you have some cooling though. |

Hi Bob,
The TS radiator fan has a resistor that activates the fan in two speeds. This is done in order to achieve higher air flow when the A/C is on and the raditor needs to cool down.
Hope you fix that easily.
Regards
