so ive jus shorted the relay with a paper clip and the fan came on so the relay is fine, and the fuse is fine so im guessing its the temperature sensor on the fan so im gunna go buy one and see how it goes, just to let anyone with the same problem know. ill check back when ive fitted the new sensor to let you know if it worked. -

intrigue90 replied to intrigue90's topic in Car Care, Maintenance and Mechanical

im not sure. theres 4 fuses in a little black box in the engine bay there is no key to say what they are for -
i think my oil pressure is low and oil is not getting to the top end of the engine. Can anyone give me advice on what the most effective way of increasing oil pressure, i am going to drop the sump and clean my oil pick up pipe when i get time but Im not a mechanic so if there is some things i could try without stripping my engine down or getting too technical it would be helpful.
