SOLVED - Help! Car's had a heart attack

So I'm a couple of minutes from home the other day, when the Exa almost dies on the freeway... one minute she's running fine, the next I've got a cylinder if I'm lucky. On go the hazards and it takes me ten minutes to limp home. After a day or two I went to start it and it fired and ran for a couple...

Thermo fan was going a lot - come to think of it I was a bit misleading; the car wasn't actually overheating, but just getting hot too easily. Anyway, it turns out I forgot to check the water; it needed a couple of litres : / I doubt it's using much water though (I'll have to keep an eye on it); it'...

Likely overheating causes?

Thinking I need to flush my radiator, but before I pull it out, is there something else that's likely to cause overheating? And if radiator flushing is the go, is there a way to DIY effectively, or should I take it to someone to get it done? Last time this happened to me a I had a spares car and jus...

That would likely be more enjoyable to drive than a lot of N12 turbos.

I think our cars are fairly strongly affected by road camber; they seem to pull downhill more than a lot of cars.

I have, but never bothered to check the pin spacing for compatibility since I don't have this problem, AFAIK.

I was think computer mobo power connector style, just like you posted.

If it was a pushie, I'd say look at the races and feel how smooth it turns without grease.

But being a car bearing, I guess the only way to be sure is to drive on it and see if it makes noise.
