Re: coolant manifold??

This is where my car is leaking from. Very awkward to get to with it being above the driveshaft and subframe. Now that I've seen this I will get at it tomorrow so thanks for the post

Re: electrical problems

I have the heater unit out but nothing to be seen at the back at all just a connector with two wires going to the fan I think the best thing is to put it back together and get another unit from the scrapyard on Monday I will keep you posted
