I'm no tech wizard so will probably get shot down for this. But I've had a couple water drenched phones that were still recognised by a pc. They wouldn't turn on manually but would connect to a pc and allow me to get stuff off. May be worth a shot? As another poster said, water damage is odd as...
Not much to update apart from getting it ready for MOT and more odd jobs found. Still haven't managed to find the cause of the fan not coming on so I've wired up a manual in car switch for the mo. Also got round to replacing the decat yeaterday with a genuine cat and centre section. As I don't...
I've played this briefly and really enjoyed it so I'm going to buy it at some point. It can get repetitive IF you let it, as in if you're only interested in charging in trying to batter the whole of mordor head on then it's going to get boring very quick. But if you've got half an imagination...
Also I know some of the more 'specialist' detailers clearly do quite well for themselves but if you compare what they've charged for a particular detail and compare it to the hours they've spent on the car, it often can work out to less than £20 an hour. Then factor in the overheads etc...
Horses for courses. If you've got a Ferrari or a Bugatti etc and want the car looking its utter best then why not? I personally wouldn't pay it but then my wages aren't anywhere near the same level of the clients who use these services, although I can understand people paying for it. It's the...
I'd checked all the wires when I was trying to find an immob fault (turned out to be an earth strap). I'm going to do a manual setup for the time being and then after Xmas get it on clip and see what's going on properly
So what should I be looking at next? As you can tell I'm a bit of a noob with auto electrics but would rather try and learn before sending it to the garage.
I'd like to report that the problem is fixed but I can't :@ Today I stripped all the trunking and tape off the wires going from the radiator plugs and traced them back to the relay board, no breaks, took all the relays out and tested them, all were clicking with 0 resistance, all the relay bases...
As far as I've been told the common snow foam lances are all made by the same company. People saying the Autobrite ones (and believe me I've used/use ALOT of AD gear) are better are getting carried away with the red instead of black details. It's the same as the standard ones inside, just looks...
Finally got the time to try bridging the relay today. I tried the smaller relay on the right in the above pic. The middle one is for the starter, left is something to do with the throttle body (when I unplug it the throttle body stops buzzing) so the right one must be one of the fan speeds. No...
It is still going ahead. As I don't want to hijack this thread, for any CS members in the plymouth/saltash area would like to meet beforehand please PM me
Ok, I know what you meant by testing the relays, was just mentioning that power is getting to the bases of the relays. According to this:

One of the bigger relays does control the fan (relay A). So one of the larger ones for high speed, then a...
No luck with unplugging the sensor. The bases to the relays are getting a good current, so can I assume there's either a dodgy relay or a break in the wiring between the relay(s) and the fan plug?
I've tried unplugging the coolant temp sensor whilst the engine was running but the fan didn't kick in. I will double check the fan connector again today, but then surely that will only get power when the relay switches? I'm going to get some 5amp wire and clips to test the relays today, I've...
On my 172 PH2 the rad fan doesn't come on as I discovered when it overheated during MOT :@. The temp gauge works fine and sits at a constant level when driving, doesn't shoot up when waiting at the lights etc. I've sent a 12v current to the fan and it comes on fine. There's no loose/dodgy wires...
