Some clubs are as good Chris, I remember in the Citroen club two members from Southampton drove up to Preston and spent a weekend sorting a blokes hydro suspension out for him after a garage had bodged it up..

People are nice everywhere if you allow them to be innit..

It shouldn't get hot enough to send the gauge to the top and trip the red warning light even if the fan's low speed has packed up. There's a severe shortage of coolant for whatever reason. The red warning will never trip on if the cooling sytem's in proper fettle.
