So things have moved on a little this week over the easter weekend, so far the temporary dash has been finished off, the vinyl has worked very well now all the dials and switches have been installed, and all for under £20, as long as it passes the IVA it will be well wort it.
Now for the bad...... after running the engine over the past few weekends i have been keeping a close eye on the cooling when its been running, and it certainly seems that the engine is not cooling very well at all. now after reading into a few other peoples build and blogs a lot of them have resorted to re-routing the coolant on the mazda engine, this involves moving the outlet of the coolant from the front of the head to back. now i will make a new section on how to do this once i have done it, i will make sure it covers in detail all the parts and how you go about doing this on a 1800cc engine,
and the not working, Now during the above and running the engine up to temperature it appears that the cooling fan is not cutting in when the temp gets high, now after many hours of wiring diagrams and tracing wires, it seems i cannot yet find a reason for this not to work, now my only concern is that during the removal of the air condition wiring, i might have removed a wire that i shouldn't have, now the air con use to over ride the cooling fan to be used in conjunction with the AC condenser fan when the AC is switched on, so i will be trying to get this to work which ever way i can.
