Yo yo every one.

I've been away for a couple of weeks re-building my van-she had a bit of re-moulding with the MIG at the back and up front in the cab I've fitted New Gauges-Oil temp, Oil Pressure, Water Temp, 2x Voltmeter, Ametet and fuel gauge. So at last I can drive with confidence and hopefully avoid incidences before they happen! Unfortunatly my speedo stopped working on the way down so gotta get that sorted and a tach. fitted.

Stats: motorway cruising at an estimated 70mph Oil pressure 20psi, oil Temp 70c, Water Temp 100c and the voltmeter tells me the fans kick in at 90c.

And cruising at 80mph was pretty much the same but the oil temp rose up to 90c.

So I was pretty stoked with that. I have obviously noticed that my fans are running all the time on the motorway so I might add another rad in the system to give the fans a bit of a break. Driving around town to other villages seems fine with the fans kicking in and out.

Here's some pics
