..before I trawl the FSM, any suggestions why my fan is stuck on? It flattened the battery yesterday

pulled the fuse for now and temp was okay on the trip back from Hull but don't want to leave it like that.

Fooked temp sensor??

Ta Tim, obviously the same designer as did the CPS location on an XJ

All falls into the Chrysler business model...... Sell them dirt cheap (they are here anyway),
but when they go wrong, make them very difficult to fix, thus making your money back
in labour costs.

Hmmm, first relay I have removed with the help of an angle grinder

Took relay off, bangged against the wall, refitted, working okay

Best order a new one though methinks

what an arse

Steves not an arse....buffoon possibly...oh the delights of GC front end design..

Dave69 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 14, 2010, 08:23:01 PM »

vehicle designers only design for their alotted area. their designs are the transfered to a digital image of the new vehicle and if it fits in the relevant location then it's ok. they don't consider servicing issues that is where the dev technicians realise what has to be done to service and develop parts. this then results in the designer changing the layout or not as in most cases.

ally jag xj350 has a part that costs around £5 which involves an engine removal to get to it which costs much moolar just because someone didn't think

yeah that is true dave i used to work in the ldv development workshop and that is indeed the case

Dave69 · « **Reply #20 on:** July 15, 2010, 09:42:29 PM »

with LDV you knew when it was updated because everything was metric and the rest is still imperial

Bubba · « **Reply #21 on:** July 16, 2010, 05:18:10 PM »
