(T) over heat

<font face="Comic Sans MS">wonder if any of you clever lads can help me out. i noticed that my engine was getting very hot and i had not heard the fan come on for a while, so i went to check the fuse only to find it had melted in its slot? any ideas how i can fix this or what may have caused it. any help greatly appreciated</font id="Comic Sans MS">

Man fan hasnt worked for a couple of years now. If you're a lazy arse like me - just put the heater on full when your temp starts rising a little. Its great fun sat in your own personal sauna in this weather :D

Whereabout in Manchester are ya? I'm in Wigan but work in Cheadle

women prefer a bloke who finishes last

Top one wimmy, funny you should say that about the heater, iv just sat in traffic for an hour with it on full blast and pointing to the passanger side, kept the heat down though. will the engine getting hot not cause some long term damage? im a bit of a novice with repairs but i do like to have a go myself before taking it to a garage, i might replace the fuse box and see what happens (s**t loads of wires sticking out the back and i'll prob **** up. Anyway, im originally from Burnage but living in Northernden with my girlfriend (both 2 mins from cheadle) were do you work, i know cheadle well and have freinds who work there.

Ps funny you should reply, i was just checking out the pics of your car and your profile last nite when i made the post and admiring your web design. Small world and all that...

Hi
Have to agree with Scorg on this..check out the Head gasket failure.How far do you travel before the warning signs kick in..?

Let us know how you get on.
