Hi all, had the Freelander for just over 3 weeks now and everything has been fine.
Yesterday on my way home I got caught in a traffic jam, not a big one mind, never the less it was around 10 minutes. During this time the temprature gauge suddenly started rising and I mean suddenly. The temprature outside was around 32 degrees. Now I know this is hot but last week we had a heat wave and I was in the same situation but the temprature was in the 39/40's and the gauge never moved. I pulled over as soon as it was safe and checked under the bonnet, nothing!!!!! there was no steam, no bubbling from the expansion bottle, no strange noises nothing, everything seemed normal. Any help would be appriciated.
Can I put in a switch to turn on the viscous fan manually while I am in heavy traffic, but still have it to come on with the temprature sensor? If any one can tell me how to wirw it up it would be much appriciated.
I dont want it on permanently coz it will just burn out the fan, by the way, it has had the thermo mod done already.
