How annoying that the water pump's gone on the new engine too, but at least it sounds like a common problem and not something odd down to the installation etc. Hopefully a new water pump will have her up and running again in no time !
Looking forward to seeing you at the Ace ! :biggrin:

******, hopefully you get it sorted soon mate, cant remember what type of fans you have fitted now,
and i bet you dont have much space to fit things like a Kenlow electric fan setup, to try and keep the temps down a bit? :crying:
But i'm sure you'll think of something mate and have it running sweet :thumbup1:

I will see how it go,s when the new pump is fitted, im going to move the header tank up abit, and im also going to put the return pipe to the top of the RAD the same way as the LS400 has it, ( as i have it going to a pipe as of now) so we will see how it go,s when i put it back the way it was in the LS
and if it still over heats when all this is done, i will have to think about takeing the Turbo out and replaceing it with a SC but one that sits on top

Its sounds mental as it is
cared: with the whine of a supercharger it would be pretty scary :w00t: Remember seeing the supercharged V8 soarer a while back and that thing was just amazing for the sound of it :tongue_smilie:
Hopefully it all goes well mate, and that the new pump etc sorts it out :thumbup1:

DJ Wozza Maybe worth trying to see if you can change the temperature the fan (or fans) to come on at somehow so they are on more often ?
HI mate, i can turn the fan on or off as when i want to
so the fan is on befor i get of my drive

If i remember rightly dont the LS have twin fans ?
I am guessing you also have a oil coller fitted Marcus

Hi mate, the LS has 2 fans, but on my setup as there is no room i had to make a custom setup useing 1 fan, and yea i have an oil cooler as well.
