Numpty questions from a novice 1992 Super Sprint
Discussion
Apologies for the amateur nature of these questions.
1992 Super Sprint 1.7 crossflow Ford engine.
1. On the dashboard there is a two position switch with a fan symbol, It doesn't appear to be a cooling fan override switch (unless its broken) and the car doesn't have a heater so what is the purpose of the switch?
2. There is a small weep on the radiator top hose, if I replace the hose are the silicone type better than good old fashioned rubber hoses and is there a good source of hoses or should I stick with Caterham?

1. This would originally have been the switch for the heater (sounds like the heater has been removed) but I did end up using it as a fan over-ride switch once I had removed the heater.
2. Personally I'd go for silicon hoses, I think i purchased mine from Caterham but that was back in 2007.
Thanks for the reply, 2. Personally I'd go for silicon hoses, I think i purchased mine from Caterham but that was back in 2007.
how are the Silicone hoses looking after 10 years of use?
