I got home from work and parked and as i walked past the bus water was every where. I can't find any leaks. I have filled it up again approx 6 ltrs and bled it. Have been running it temp gauge won't go past 85 and no water leaking but the fan doesn't appear to be coming on either.
Has anyone got any idea's? Cheers.

The rad is getting warm but it's not overheating or leaking.

I plugged in the green test connectors and everything worked as it should including the fan. The fan isn't coming on at all under normal conditions.

Not sure about the first time but it has been running well although he had a nightmare bleeding it. . It spewed it all in about 50 yrds in the carpark. I have been running it and checked clips and pipes with no luck. Tony

Do you know if my van would have a one or two speed fan because I have two sets of instructions for the RJES wiring loom?

2 speed fan has 3-wire senser. One wire is the 12v feed, other two are seperate feeds out for the 2 speeds.

I think mine must be a two speed as it has three pins in the rad.
