Recently bought a Sporting on a V 2000 for my son to learn in and have been very impressed with it myself.
After 30 years of riding large capacity high powered sportsbikes that can literally humiliate any car shy of Porsche and Ferrari, I have actually found a car I can have fun driving!
Most cars are a total bore because you are too detached from what is actually happening; and I have unfortunately driven a lot of cars.
The wife has a BMW 525i Sport which by most car's standards is a nice car to drive, but still a bit of a yawn, all the same. The little Sei is fun though and is not only a great starter car but totally practical for anyone without a family.
To get to the problem; if you can call it that. The Sei as you will know doesn't have a temperature guage and has the fan running frequently when in traffic. This is rather like a bike, because the radiators on those are so small, they have to rely on the fan in taffic.
Whilst reading these posts I can see it is normal, it does concern me somewhat, just like it does on the bike; but on the bike when it comes on at least I can start "busting traffic".
Does anybody use a secondary radiator or something to keep the things cool?
After the lad has passed his test; I plan on giving him more power (larger engine or turbo) so it will definately need it before then.
Thanks in advance.
