    Sorry, I have no idea.

    You might be lucky in pricking the jets with a pin, but it is possible the blockage will simply be pushed back up the pipe, only to be pushed forward into the jet again by the water. If that happens you will need to remove the jet and back flush it with water to get rid of the dirt.

    So what is the fix Kev? Don't keep it a secret.

    Oscar. As you have discovered, there are few parts available for a 32 year old car. I suggest you try Ebay in the first instance. If that fails I believe there are companies that can fabricate new hoses at considerable expense.

    Gary. I am not sure I completely understand the problem even now, so let me summarise the symptoms as I read them. [1] The engine fan continues to run after switching off the ignition and removing the key. Correct? [2] The cabin fan runs when the fan switch is in the OFF position and the ignition is switched on, but when the ignition is switched off the cabin fan stops. Correct? We need to properly understand the problem before suggesting a solution.

    Thanks for the information Steve. That's something new I have learned.

    Hmm. I am not convinced. The lower flange of the crankcase still has to be cleaned so why not the upper flange of the sump?

    The headlights click? I am not familiar with xenon lights but I'd be surprised if there are relays within the lights. Tungsten lamps for instance have their relays well away from the light fittings, usually on or close to a fuseboard.

    The only single fault I can imagine that would allow both the engine fan and the cabin fan to continue running would be a failure of the ignition switch to interrupt the power supply when turned off, unlikely though that seems. Are there any other circuits, such as radio and lights for example, that are still operating when they should not be?

    If you bought the car from a dealer, take it back. and let him worry about it.
  11. cliffcoggin
    Does it have one relay for both lights or one relay each?
  12. cliffcoggin
    Where in the world are you Huzy? K is not a recognised location.

    Ask the mechanic to show you the fault in the old sump from where oil was leaking.
  14. cliffcoggin
    Have either of you consulted a car electrician?
  15. cliffcoggin
    There's no cost to typing more words Steve.

    Another option to consider is what is known as V2L, or vehicle to load. It's a way of taking 230 volts out of the traction battery via a charging port adaptor. It is intended for uses such as yours, and as a backup supply for low load circuits in the house. Again I do not know if it is available for your car.

    Thanks Daniel. I think we have offered all the realistic advice possible without actually seeing and testing the car. What action you now take is up to you, but please let us know the outcome.

    Possibly the alternator belt is slipping.
  19. cliffcoggin
    Gary. Are you saying the cabin fan runs as well as the engine fan?
  20. cliffcoggin
    I don't know specifically about your vehicle, so wait for more informed opinion, but many electric cars do top up the auxilliary battery from the traction battery even when the ignition is off. There are arguments about whether it is safe to have 400 volt electrical activity going on when the car is unattended, but that is a matter beyond my competance. Perhaps the dealer can tell you.
  21. cliffcoggin
    Rob. Your logic is sound, but above and beyond my knowledge so I can not comment. Do let us know the outcome.

    Gareth. It had been so long since I had to deal with suspension geometry that I am finding it hard to visualise the layout. Whatever the case here I think you would agree that springs and other suspension components should be identical on each side, therefore to adjust the camber or anything else to compensate for unequal length springs is the wrong way to approach the job.

    Well if Google is such expert on this problem why not ask Google where the switch is?

    No payment required Liam, though I daresay the administrators would not object to a donation. All we ask is that any advice you receive is aknowledged, and that you post the outcome of each problem so that others may benefit from shared knowledge. It used to be called common courtesy at one time though it is far from common now.

    I have read that Lion batteries have a very poor reputation on this forum, so I would not place too much reliance on the guarantee. That's not to say the battery is definitely responsible for the problem, but it does leave a question mark over it. If you are prepared to take the instrument cluster out yourself and post it to ECU Testing, you should have it back long before your local garages can even look at it. £45 for a diagnosis, about £180 for repair.
