Hi, Thanks to all of you. I finally drilled a hole in the fiberglass, and it is now very easy to drain the radiator... and no one can see it. I think it was the easyest way to reach this plug.

Thank you Jacques. I don't have the hole for the socket to open the drain plug ( in the GRP part) Should I drill one? Regards sylba

Hi Vulcan Grey, Do you know where this relay is in the car?

OK, I'll look after the relays. It seems also that there is something wrong with the alarm, all the turn lights are on (like the warning, it isn't!) for a few seconds...

May be it is the fuel pump...

Hello, I've driven my 1989 Esprit Turbo the first time this morning... Everything seems OK, but after stopping the engine, I can hear something like an electric pump that doesn't want to stop... Do you know what it is? Is there something wrong? How long should it turn? Many thanks.

Great, many thanks Steve! So I'll set it on idle speed with the vacuum on.

I've never seen in my life a car that is so unseasy to work on! I had ten Porsche 911, also a Ferrari GTB and many other cars, it was always a plaisure to service them, but my Esprit...

OK, David, many thanks.
