I noticed this when i bought mine but just assumed thats how they were. Another member and now you have raised the question and its making me worry about mine. I took a look at the mount you pictured on mine but i have no gunk or noticable mess. If the mount was gone surely we'd notice when engine running, booting it, changing gear viciously etc?

Thanks for the reply VeeRsix The problem arose again the other day, checked the rad temp sensor and seemed to be functioning properly. I heard a small pop sound while driving yesterday, pulled over and took a look. Basically the fan control unit under the expansion bottle was wrecked, smoke and all sorts. The little plastic lid had come loose and melted into the fuses, that and a few coolant leaks ive had recently prob didnt help. Replaced unit and the two plugs that go into the bottom as they had welded themselves to it. Hopefully its sorted now

Dont worry guys problem may have sorted itself out. Just went out for a 10 mile round drive. Plugged fan motor back in before leaving and it started spinning, was on the entire journey, got back and it was off completly within 5 mins. Hopefully thats it. Doing some more work to the car soon so I'll prob have some more questions then, so i'll be testing your knowledges at some point. Cheers

Then to top it off my auxillary water pump failed big time a couple of days ago seizing up and blowing the bottom of its seal off covering the impeller. So until i source a new pump i just
