I already knew the clutch was going anyway, I was wondering if a 1.4 gearbox and clutch would fit my...

    gearbox issues :(

    Ahh well ill say ur spot on then coz they are heat wrapped so they must be cables... Don't suppose u know how to adjust them? I saw the main adjuster and I moved that along but it hasn't made it any better.

    radiator fan question?

    Yeah I've already removed the foggy and put a cold air feed In there, think the most I've seen the temp go up to is 94 and that was after thrashing it lol. Never been like that since!

    radiator fan question?

    Yeah I see what u mean mate, its just because I bought a twin fan to replace the single one, and wanted to keep one running all the time.

    radiator fan question?

    No it doesn't overheat but I just wanted it to run all of the time, coz the engine bay gets to hot! And also when it is hot eg when the oil temp is 84 degrees my gears become harder to change as well.

    radiator fan question?

    Does anyone know if its possible to have the fan running all the time while the ignition is switched on? I want to do this to mine to help keep the engine bay as cool as possible and just guessed it would be a case of swapping the wires around on the plug going in to the fan.
