I won't be going to trax

Engines running well...it isnt really

75 miles to £15 of petrol
Rad fan is no longer working
Hole has come threw the pipe in the air filter
Somewhere is blowing around my manifold
Idles like a badger
Needs a new alternator bracket

My car is slowly falling to bits!

So if i don't end up at trax it's because my car has blown up or something along those lines.

Btw, what could be causing the fan on the rad not to work?

Checked all the plugs/electrics + fuse any more suggestions?

put some power to the fan see if the actual unit works. if it doesnt then you have found your problem and if it does and you are desperate. put a permanant power to the fan and put a switch in-line in the dash so for a temporary bodge, whenever you see your temp creeping up flick the switch.

alternator bracket is no biggy get a new 1, £20 quid.

idles like a badger? who cares, ragged sounds good.

exhaust blowing, have a look take your manifold off get it welded up or whatever put your standard one back on.

tape up the hole in ou air filter pipe

and there you hae it a bodged ok running juicy corsa. chin up
