Re: Whirring engine noise when stopped?

Just had a look in my lunch break and it looks like its the aux cooling pump, I've pulled the plug on it for now and will have a looksee later... Do these sensors fail that are connected to these?

Ta Paul.

Re: Fitting tow bar electrics

I was quoted around £90 from a local garage to fit the tow bar electrics so I thought I would give it a go....

Purchased a pre-wired socket from Wilco in Norwich for £7.99 and fitted it myself in 15 mins!

Simple job!!
