Advice Please - Fans and Footwell?

[digger77]

Took the car out of the garage for a bit a clean and polish; I let the car get up to temperature and noticed the fans didn’t kick in as they usually do? Is this easy to fix?

Anyway finished polishing the car and started on the inside; noticed liquid in the drivers foot well, definitely not water, can only be clutch or brake fluid I guess? Again any advice on common issues in relation to clutch or brake fluid finding its way in to the drivers foot well?

Car is being picked up next weekend for a visit to Automedon TVR in Blackpool, just wanted to be in the know before it goes off for outriggers and a few other bits.

Thanks

The fan problem could also be the connectors which lay just below the radiaator, they can get wet and rust, just need to clean them.

good luck

I'd agree - check the 2 off 2 blade connectors on cables from both fan motors - give the blades a bit of a go with the wife's emery board and then apply some silicone grease.

The fluid in the drivers footwell is likely to be hydraulic from the brake or clutch master cylinder - - indicating 'tired' seals and impending failure. When I had the Chimaera, this was the cause of staining on a brand new pair of shoes ;-(.
