i wouldent know an E90 if it bit me , its was a bmw 320 diesel is all l know
and your right about the wiring connecting the 2 big wires has no effect, in the bin it goes, i did strip a diesel mk4 gold a while back i think i still have the rad and fans off that to try next

If its going in the bin try attaching the small wire to 12V as well, there's a chance it might run at full speed.

sako what sort of jcb do you have ? 3c ?

95 2CX so a bit of an oddball but bloody handy when she was running. 4 wheel drive, four wheel steer - will do a full 360 in about 5m which considering she's about 5m long is some feat, out digs most 5 tonners on the back actor and lifts 2t comfortably on the front.

Unfortunately I don't think there are any common spares with most things. One slew ram is getting rather rusty since she's been sat but apart from that (and lack of engine) she's in good nick.

Some rams might be useful for other projects but they'd just be added to the pile of projects. Thanks for the offer though - if I think of anything I'll let you know.

any idea why there is 2 water temp sensors ? one for gauge and one for fans ?

One is for the temp gauge & the other is for the temp warning light. The fan one is in the rad, as far as I remember.

and those are the other 2 water outlets that i dont need

From that diagram one goes to the rear manifold & the other to the top of header tank. Might be an idea to connect them up as per the diagram, it will make bleeding a lot easier.

hi i did try that but i couldent coax it into life, went and found the fans of the golf i broke up, 3 wires on each fan but all the same size so figured they were 2 speed, welded up an oversize frame to carry the radiator so it would offer some protection as i brush against the trees
and the fans work fine when i put them of full it moves the bench across the workshop

If the fans are that powerful you could just use the engine to drive the cutters and let the fans provide propulsion
