Mr B Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 New radiator will be sensible cost effective solution . NRF Nissens or Denso sensible options. NRF can be had silly cheap off eBay seller carpartsinmotion as regulars in eBay coupons so pretty easy wait for 15 or 20% off coupon code .

tyre man dave Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 Pulling hair out now. Got car to fire up keeps blowing no 11 fuse fuel pump. Tryed disconnecting fuel pump plug sender plug still blowing fuses ruled out short. Can only now be fuel pump relay. Any other ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 you touch roughly or spill water on anything when done the radiator ! Pulling plug at tank only eliminates pump, harness could be shorting, check relay/fuse box and try split circuit down and don't overlook visual inspection ability to find likely area of fault .

savage bulldogs Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Seems strange it started doing it after changing the rad 🤔 There's only really the radiator fan wires /plugs that you'd need to disturb . Are they plugged in correctly and clipped back away from the headers ? Does the pump prime or just blow the fuse as soon as you turn the key to stage 1 ? If you have a multimeter you could google for a ECU pin out for your model Then do a few ECU pin voltage checks and check the harness between ECU /relay /harness and pump .
