gruntus Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 had a look at the X-Eng web site and noticed this item description below: Although a "QuickFist" sounds like something you might buy in Brighton - they are in fact one of the most innovative accessory fixing clamps we've seen. why can't more web sites be a bit more lite hearted G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I think a leccy fan will be fine for use in this country. Most of the time it won't be working anyway, which is proof of the engines efficient cooling system anyway. Of course - if you live in a country where temperatures get high enough to fry an egg on the bonnet and elephant dung can be used for firewood 10-minutes after being dropped, then you might want to reconsider Les.

britishnick Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 If I was doing it again, I wouldn't buy a kit. I'd get a fan from a scrappy and Simons thermostat. At the time I fitted this, I didn't have a scrappy near me and I didn't know a while pile The brackets aren't exactly fabrication. They could be done with a drill and a hacksaw. Hi, Which vehicle did this fan come from ? Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromit Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Hi, Which vehicle did this fan come from ? Nick It wasn't taken from a vehicle. It's a Spal fan that came from famous four's kit a few years ago. You may be able to order direct from Spal. Now mounted in my Bro-in-law's truck and still going strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobson Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 please forgive my hijack and daft question, but i've been thinking about fitting a leccy fan, so from the inside, does it need to suck or blow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyoldgit Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Fan mounted on the engine side of the radiator needs to suck. Mounted on the outside needs to blow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Range Rover Blues Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I rang Kenlowe about fitting electrics to my LSE. They advise me NOT TO! A visocus fan in good nick will use less than 2Hp normally and up to 5 hp when locked up. It will shift well over twice the air that a pair of Kenlowe HD fans can. If you have cooling issues then electrics are not the the way to go. I ended up fitting a new rad and viscous hub, I don't have any more problems. BTW, what's this about fan noise? if you can hear it the fan is faulty. On a TDi the fan serves a secondary function, it draws air accross the intercooler. If you remove it you reduce the effectivenss of the intercooling. of course if your truck runs fine with no fan at all then electrics might be for you, provided you never need the full power of the viscous.
