Hi folks! I have a '61 Panda Mk 2, 1200cc, Petrol engine.
Last weekend the plastic hose pipe connector on the thermostat housing broke and the car lost it's water. I called out the AA, expecting to be relayed home. The AA man said this is a common problem and produced a brass version of the fitting! He fitted the new part and refilled and bled the cooling system. This meant I was able to drive home.
However, since completing the repair I have no reading on the temperature guage and the rad fan runs constantly while the engine is running. The fan stops after a while when the ignition is turned off.
Please will you Guru's tell me what I need to do to fix this? :worship:
Many thanks.
