SelfMadeTramp Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Hi everyone, I've just joined and posted in the Newbies section. I live in the Witney area, and have just got myself a Megablade. I have a possible overheating issue to sort out, maybe just an airlock, the car has been standing for a while. If its running ok I will join you, just fill me in nearer the time, thnx. Any ideas on the overheating appreciated. It runs very cool 45 deg when its moving, but temperature climbed quickly in traffic, I took a quick detour to cool it down. Maybe the fan would have kicked in if I had waited but didn't want to risk it £££!, cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CL290005 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Grommit Welcome hope you can make it your attendance will swell our numbers LOL Overheating does sound more like there is an airlock at least that's what I would be looking at first. Look forward to meeting you on 26th Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I would check if the fan does work by getting out a multimeter or a camping stove and pan of water to the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure yet, I've only had it since Sunday, I will be taking the nose off in the morning to see what's going on, I can't risk running it for long if it's overheating. Hopefully it will be something easy (and cheap!) I will let you know what I find, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KugaWestie Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 BTTT There is a good chance that I will be without the Westfield next week if everything goes to pplan in the next few days. I will know by Thursday. If this is the case - anyone fancy picking me up from Kidlington? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CL290005 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Late thought I have just heard Silverstone is opening its gates on Thursday Evening 7.00pm as Sky1 are talking to the drivers should we delay our meeting/drive and go to this event as a group?
