the earlier cars had a sensor plug in the side of the rad but I think this should have been deleted on yours going by the age ? could be a relay ?

Unplugging the cts sensor on the thermostat should definitely see the fan kicking straight in so somethings awry somewhere , andy

got a tester on the plug today no life in it at all so im dont no cars now off the road as mot time tomorrow so gone to a friend to have some work done soon it shall be back on the road hopefully as of the 9th july me thinks

kaz19880 · 22-06-2010, 23:11

xDGTx · 23-06-2010, 06:28

DON'T SELL IT !!!!!

All the work you've done so far......

Get the work done on it. Get the welding done by a pro, the rest you can do your self if you have a bit of mechanical know-how.

I'll help if I you need any....

You'll regret it in a few months.

They are one hell of a car to drive

kaz19880 · 23-06-2010, 09:47

xDGTx · 23-06-2010, 12:15

Money is always the problem LOL

Shame I can't take it off your hands......

Good luck with the sale anyway....

Dave.

kaz19880 · 23-06-2010, 13:20

Hey its not worth much atm its gonna be open to offers as to how much its worth with and without mot

kaz19880 · 21-07-2010, 01:46

right got a little bit of work done on it as looks like im gonna be keeping it unless someone gives me some cash
heres my list from the failed mot
near side front position lamp not working . *DONE*
offside front position lamp not working *DONE*
offside reg plate lamp bulb not working *DONE*

nearside from wing has sharp edge caused by corrision
offisde front cv joint spilt * searching for part as we speak*
nearside front seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessily corroded
offside front seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessily corroded
filler pipe leaking
3 new tires needed *will be taken off newly aqqured rover 420tdi if alloys fit*
near side rear sill is excessivly corroded suspension mounting
parking brake effinciency below requirements ( was 15% should f been 16%)

this may seem like alot but im sure i can do something to get it though and then maybe sell it and cut my losses and find something else in the rover vauxhall world

If you're thinking of moving camps, you're in the same situation as me - my 620ti has just been costing too much to run.

I've got an MG ZS diesel, and it's quite possibly (after the Ti) the most fun car I've ever had. Running about 150bhp with a full stainless exhaust, doesn't sound bad either!

Take a mooch at them, they're pretty good for the cash these days.

hurry up with the Vitesse!

The R-Reg 420 (petrol) we had was the most uncomfortable car we ever owned!

The footwells in the back have different levels, and the seats tip you the opposite way to them! London and back in the 420 was the most painful trip we ever went on. Within weeks of buying the R-Reg 420, we had put it back up for sale!

Luckily we bought it while we still had our old MK1 400, so we kept that instead for many years.

but yours was cheap, and it's a means to an end, so enjoy!

(just don't travel in the back (ache) of it!)

xDGTx · 30-07-2010, 14:10

Glad your keeping the 820..good luck with the restore....

Remember....it was nearly mine.

..just had no money at the time....

Dave.

kaz19880 · 31-07-2010, 02:47
