To Nonuts, Hi, Unfortunately I have family comitments this weekend, but in due course I hope to find out more about club activities. For the time being I,m travelling between the west country and Heathrow (work) every week in the seven. It's great to enjoy driving again,and I have to admit to having taken a longer route home from work (only another 20 or 30 miles or so) just for the sheer enjoyment of driving a seven in the countryside. I'm impressed with the fuel consumption (at better than 39 mpg)!,as if it mattered that much,but it is a bonus with the miles I'm currently clocking up. Happy motoring. Joe W.

To all who responded to my message,very many thanks. I was so concerned that my new' baby' wasn' t well,but having heard from all you other 'parents', I am happy that all is satisfactory. In view of all the advice I have received, I have decided to give the fan time to switch off (It does seem to happen only when the engine is warm/at the end of a quick run) before turning the key and switching off. I have recently bought my very first seven, which I had wanted for some time, and have to say I am besotted (an understatement)!. I joined the club just a few days ago, and am very impressed with the support from the club in general, having spoken to Barry Sweeney (Membership Secretary) and now having received such helpful advice from the other 'parents'. Hope to meet many of you at area meetings etc,over the coming months, as I travel regularly between London and the west country. Joe Wenglorz.( Newcomer and definite enthusiast ).

Have just purchased (a few weeks ago)a 1.6 K series super seven,and have experienced several times,engine running on,after switching off ignition (and removing key).Engine is a 1.6 Rover K series, 115 bhp 15,000 miles. My main concern is possible overheating, but can this occur,with the injection switched off? It has been suggested to me that the problem could be due to a sticking relay in the engine management system. Does anyone have any knowledge, theories, or is this a 'characteristic' of K series engines - MEMS engine management systems ?
