MG
The Classic Marque

The fan on my car was fitted during its time at SU. It was operated via a toggle switch where the O/D switch would normally be.

When I installed an O/D gearbox, I decided to have a boss fitted to the radiator for a modern switch. I also added a relay, as well as a manual override switch.

FWIW whilst the V8 had a relay for the factory cooling fans the 4-cylinder didn't, but diodes weren't needed in either case.

After-market fans should come with whatever is needed.

Our GP surgery has a similarly short window for telephone calls in the morning.

They also have an online system, where you can tick some boxes and fill in various fields with symptoms and what you like them to do!!

It opens at 08:00 precisely and is often shut down before 08:15 due to reaching capacity. It pays to have everything typed up beforehand, so you can copy and paste into b...

I thought I'd better check my cooling fan relay. No diode, ooops!

It now has one.

Willy. Yep mia culpa. I know that and don't mind being told.

But it wasn't the tool I used. Blokes using chain saws have been caught out.

It was my failure to understand how a tree trunk/branch/limb, can split up the grain before the cut gets all the way through.

This was a circa 4 inch diameter 'trunk'. The reciprocating saw, bosch wood blades, went through it like butt...

Glad to hear that Jan.

Yep, falling as we get older is far more serious. And all those years we wore comfortable clothes/shoes doing all kinds of things; we got away with it because we were agile/nimble.

She probably wouldn't have fallen in the same circumstances when she was younger. Lessons for us all as we get older.

Hi Anam,

Thank you for asking about my wife. She is absolutely fine now. Just aches, pains and bruises but when you are in your seventies it takes longer to fully recover. When the medics examined her they were initially more interested in why she fell. This was to rule out a stroke or heartattack. Turns out she was in the garden wearing an old but favourite pair of Dr Scholls slip on mules...

Before screwung up my hand, at the last appointment I had with my regular gp, -- a face to face -- she was unable to tell me anything useful. Couldn't see my hospital results(different system) and what she could see, she couldn't open(different software) and couldn't interpret anyway, as that was the consultant's job area of expertise.

Also I had described some symptoms I was having. She ...

Looks like you might have has a bug in the relay ...
