Right, the rad on my redtop was leaking, just replaced it. The only trouble I'm having is getting the fan on. I know most people will say run with a slimline fan.. But I can't a) afford one b) get one today..
I know it's more likely to over heat but can I run it without a fan??

yeah always thought it worked quite well. i went for ages without a fan in my old 1.6sport but i live in the country so dont get stuck in traffic jams so was never a problem.
