Re: Fitting kenlowe electric fan in 2.8i

Yes, you`re right, it`s just a one way valve in essence. Although as it seems some unknown forces are at play, I`d fit as close to the source/fusebox as possible. Thank you mate, that's as I thought.

Re: First drive in an MG

I am familiar with his work, and A New England is a song I know, he's certainly a popular artist and has been for some years. Hard to believe he's now 66!
