Reading this forum regularly just transfers my paranoia from one thing to another on a weekly basis. Last week was clutch. Next week will be something else!

it should work everytime you turn the engine off even if its on ran for a few seconds. mine worked sometimes but then sometimes it wouldnt. i followed the guide on here to repair it and its been working fine ever since.

A word of warning for you guys , if you have replaced your cooling fan control box at any point with one that is not for an LCR , your secondary water pump will not work :) as it runs through this.

This box is located under the battery.

One of my fans doesn't work and I attempted a fix with the nime box but it doesn't work.

Can't hear my pump going after I switch the engine off. Could the two be linked?

I will pull the pump out tomorrow for a good look.

Ive used to nime box and it works a treat, it may be that your fan control box is knackered.

Checked the fuses?

Turns out mine does actually work, I just looked in the wrong place before and couldnt hear it due to the ambient noise. It's not as loud as I was expecting form some reason.

Anyway, thats one less thing to worry about. Now to figure out my fans issue :think::)

Just checked mine and it appear to be not working, just switched my engine on and off. Will check tomorrow when i've had a drive to see if that makes any difference.
 
Well i cleaned mine out yesterday after it was making a strange noise and now it's not working at all after a 15 minute drive. I've checked the voltage to the pump and it's 0.27v which seems a bit low to me, does anyone know what voltage the pump should be getting?
Cheers
