Sounds like you have it all worked out now, good luck with it
The fact the disc is getting hot is because the pads are not releasing properly, did you completely clean the return hole
Changing the fan to a different is unlikely to solve the problem unless the problem is in the fan motor itself and that is something that is...
So at least now you know why this one was for sale, so when you get all the new bits, cut the plug off the rec/reg and the harness and solder and...
I went to my doctor a few days ago and he told me I was suffering from givafuck, I asked him if that was something to be concerned about and he...
I thought Frank was very ill or died a few years ago and his wife was winding the business up. I could be way off the mark though or maybe...
Has to be a way to fix it without ditching the motor, bit hard to tell without a pic
And if you have a volt meter fitted you can see exactly what your battery voltage is dropping to while you are cranking the motor
I doubt you would be able to measure accurately enough to pick a bent rod, for you to be able to find a difference the rod would need to be bent...
