wardrobe Departments are paid to dress people in the correct period of attire, so it’s ok to wear jeans and a T shirt in a production of Pride and Predjudice is it? so long as they stick to the correct script? I think not, it has to be correct.

Nobody is saying that. A WW2 jacket for a WW2 situation is good enough for a low budget docusoap.

Hey thanks all.
The tape is temporary as I wanted to see if it was better sucking off or blowing on. I also need to think of a better way, the tape is specialist stuff (Not for this job obviously) and is incredibly adhesive. But I will do it another way.
The Thermo paste isn’t required here, that goes under the sync. This could be bolted, but the holes are gone.
Robbo is correct, the old fan had a gap all round and worked by throwing air out of the sides of the Sync.
This fan is sucking off. There is a hell of a draft coming from it (So there must be an intake from somewhere), and the temperatures are all maintaining norms. It ran 11 hours yesterday. I do agree tht it maybe better to have it blowing on. I may need to drill holes in the side of the new black plastic fan case, or snip ‘V’s around the attaching edge. This gives same affect as 27Vets Spacers.

Kev, your last point.
Yes, tell the coppers…only if you are not seen to do so. The scumbag element of todays youth carry more vendettas than we ever could think. If you try and tackle them, you’d better knock them clean out first blow because highly likely they will be tooled up with a blade or a firearm…and they will get a gang trophy for killing you.
And, the repercussions on your family after the event too. So, tell the law. However, our great law….shoplifting versus possible income…no contest as you say.

Country lanes with 60. 60 / 65.
Towny roads with 30. 30.
Urbans with 40 / 50. 40 and 50.
Motorways with 70. 80 and 85 if everybody else is. Truthfully, my car is uneconomical at 70. 60 or 80 is best with CC on (I can just see the Police having that one!!! LoL). Sorry officer, I get 32mpg at 80 but only 29 at 70 LoL.
Motorway roadworks with 50. 50, and I really don’t care who I annoy behind me. Lorries are the worst.

Autobahn. I tried for my limited speed of 155 but bottled it at 140 – very VERY scary. My pal with same car has had his limiter illegally removed and he bottled out ay 180 with a theoretical 185 as max.

Come on yous mugs!
The programme was to tell the story.
The Exact uniforms and badges would not have entered the Wardrobe departments remit.
Pulling a prog. apart for this sort of thing puts you in DeepGeek mode. Your plane spotters not train spotters! :):):):)

Decided it was time to mend it. It was taking up to 20 starts before I didn’t get the Bios warning screen telling me chip fan wasn’t working.
The Guilty

Plugged in the new fan to see if it was recognised and the variable speed was being controlled. Yep.

Time to remove old fan. If you recall, true removal requires mobo out, didn’t want to do that.
Snipped through the tin cover to reveal the actual fan. Peeled it all back and snapped off the bits.

3 small screw held the actual fan to the base unit.
What was left is this case, which I presume is acting as the heatsync.

New fan, £4.99 from Maplins. 8,000 RPM (Old was 6,000) and the blades are significantly bigger, this moves a lot more air.

Application of double sided tape and pushed new fan into the old casing.
Pikey fix, job done…..Time for a cup of tea!

Send me some Northern Water so I can make a cuppa!
Yorkshire Tea, “For Hard Water” doesn’t quite step up to the mark when I compare it to Tea made with Lake District water, as per Mancland.
Down here, the water is similar to battery acid. But it’s not as bad as Liverpool’s. I have coffee in the ‘pool so it disguises the awful water. Come from Lake Bala doesn’t it?

What the…

flight called off today!

What a great Stunt!

Thanks for the run-downs. Never been so hooked on a thread!
