As an aside, rad switches tend to be in the bottom hose, or bottom of rad because the water coming into the rad is always going to be hot, but having the switch in the bottom will only put the fans on when the rad is not managing to cool (ie when car stationary) I have 2 Rover V8s at the moment, they are not a great engine, low powered and a tendency to wear out camshafts, I believe the 3.5 is better than the 3.9 in terms of porous block. Can't really help with your overheating woes. I also briefly had a v8 powered Series 3 landy. Never went out on the road in it.
A lexus V8 would probably run forever without touching it, but they are getting expensive and quite complicated to install.

Worth joining the Movano facebook group and asking on there. Could be a CAN / body computer issue

Well one can only assume it is still for sale as it has not been marked otherwise. Looks like a nice little car.

Built this 12 years ago. Might even be a thread on here somewhere. This has the body, chassis, suspension and steering of an early 2 door Range rover, I managed to find an exceptionally good one, which was difficult even when I bought it in 2007. I dismantled, sandblasted and 2k painted, and not wanting a wheezy old clonky thirsty leaky unreliable Range Rover, I installed the running gear from a low mileage 4.2 diesel manual Nissan Patrol, with a turbo kit (Australian) and front mount intercooler added. I blasted/painted the axles as well. It has a lot of things the original Rangie did not: 5 speed, 2wd mode (direct, centre diff) vacuum rear diff-lock, auto freewheeling hubs, servo assisted clutch, adjustable column, tacho, intermittent front wipe (variable) Intermittent rear wipe, load compensator, halogen headlamps, 50mm body lift. Why did I not just get a Patrol I hear you asking? The Patrols were rustbuckets, chassis, sills, body mounts, wings, rear floor.. The 70s Range Rover has mostly aluminium exterior body panels and the shell IS MODULAR. The bulkhead, side members, floor, roof, inner wings, rear quarterpanels all simply unbolt, so although a Rangie can potentially rust in certain places, the thing can potentially last forever due to being able to just swap out bits of the shell, and you can still get most of these bits, even though these Rangies came out in 1970. The turbo was reconditioned by Turbo Technics, the steering box was brand new, also had new clutch, caster correction bushings, swivel bearings etc. Running standard fuelling, the Range-trol been used as tow vehicle last 12 years, never missed a beat and great to drive. Good on fuel. Easy (and clean!) to work on. Power could be increased substantially with some upgrades to injector pump. It has an EGT probe in the exhaust already. Vehicle no longer used as I only really used it for towing a trailer so reluctantly need to sell. Mileage on all the running gear is only 109,000. Exterior still original 1970s paint. Interior original. No headlining. Could also split Vehicle and running gear but would be a little heartbreaking as this creation was planned meticulously and worked out great. Vehicle is mostly rust-free but there is some rust in the (steel) door shells. Underside is still excellent for a BL product almost 50 years old. Build photos

From facebook: I’m reaching out with a heavy heart because my car was stolen from Ordsall, Salford over the weekend (between 2pm Saturday and 5pm Sunday). It’s a 1985 Renault 11 GTL, beige with a beige interior and it means the world to me. If you could all do me a huge favour and keep an eye out for it I would be immensely grateful. Please share this post far and wide and if you happen to spot the vehicle or have any information don’t hesitate to reach out to me ASAP. We have already reported the theft to the police but every extra pair of eyes could make all the difference. I’m really hoping the community can help bring my car back home. Thank you in advance for your support and solidarity during this time, your help means everything. Please keep spreading the word and let’s home for a safe return

I also used the Horsham place recently, sketchy as hell. Truck (2011 Master with 260,000 miles) had STOP lamp on dash and warning message about fuel injector problem , gearbox was whining so loudly I tried to drown it out with the radio... but radio didn't work, the front had fallen off it. Tail lamp and screenwash not working, mirrors not adjusting, I don't even think it had a spare wheel. It also took two weeks of constant polite asking for them to return my deposit.

Be an idea to put a better title, also do you mean Wallington, rather than Warrington?

Replace the underbonnet fusebox, these should not be coded or anything, usually a few plugs and an M8 nut for the main battery feed. Pick up a used one with the same number on it, they may also fit them to other PSA cars of the same era.
