tuko Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hej TeriAnn, Welcome to the forum. All you guys & gal who have those big fans make me want to run out and get one to. Nah, the motor hasn't gotten hot enough for the fan to kick in, it stays below middle of the gauge weather it's city or highway driving. Todd.

ThreeSheds Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hej TeriAnn,Welcome to the forum. And from me too - I had a look at your website and it's pretty impressive - you should do a 'here is my Land Rover' post with lots of pictures for us all to enjoy..

Mine never gets hot either, but I still WANT a big electric pusher fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Just to be different - two small(er) Audi puller fans on the back of the rad, with the cowling chopped right back to allow the rad to clear the PAS box Cooling the 4.6 very nicely. Running Bull Bar Cowboy's twin-speed fan circuit, shortly to be controlled by the MegaSquirt ECU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm going through a shy phase, but it seemed that a "Here's my Land Rover and look at all its goodies" posting seemed a bit pretentious for a forum newbie. I've had her for a little over 30 years now and to me she is basically a pimped out Dormobile that will go anywhere I care to point her and her tyres can find bight. If there is interest I could give a virtual cook's tour of The Green Rover but I don't want to impose not knowing the social dynamics of this group. I actually need the big fan. There are times when I travel in areas that well over 100 degrees F (38 degrees C) And I have learned something about my EFI system the hard way. The computer puts the engine into warm up mode below 185F (85C) and the thermostat that is supposed to be paired with the computer is 190F (88C). Mine was cooler. When the computer is in warm up mode it runs the engine lean to help it get up to operating temperature quicker. with a lower temperature thermostat the radiator kept the engine below 185. So the engine was running cool but very learn. Which meant very high exhaust temperatures, manifolds and exhaust. I had melted a clutch hydraulic hose, an O2 sub harness and had very high temperatures in fuel lines that ran near the exhaust system causing vapour lock on long trips in hot weather. That problem took me about 2 years to solve as I've never seen the temperature point where the computer switches to normal mode in print. Of course since I live on the cool coast they problem was only noticeable when I ventured inland in the summer. Which is a long winded way to mention that a big fan comes in handy with a 190 (88) degree thermostat in occasional 100 (38) degree plus ambient temperatures.

FridgeFreezer Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 TeriAnn - a good place to say hello & introduce your vehicle is the members' vehicles forum. I've visited your website many a time for various inspirations. If you have EFI issues may I suggest a look at MegaSquirt, it overcomes a lot of the "black box" gremlins of factory EFI.

I'm still somewhat lost in this forum's layout. I do not see a members vehicles forum in any of the places I've browsed so far. I've found a members alphabetical listing which doesn't seem all that friendly and a gallery which as of yet doesn't make sense to me. Neither place seems appropriate for a newbie into and virtual tour of my truck. Actually the Mustang EFI is quite good and self adapts to many different engine modifications and configurations. My only problems so far has been unknowingly installing used wrong or out of spec parts to save money and not knowing which thermostat to install.

Gremlin Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 My version, its a puller fan from an unknown, its very powerfull and pulls loads of air. Bmw maybe?? td 5 intercooler and 200 tdi rad behind that, its all a squeeze. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Either I'm a total forum dunce, or I don't have permissions to see certain forums areas. The link you supplied returned a page that said the link was bad. When I look at LR4x4 - The Land Rover Forum >, here's what I see: The Lounge International Forum Getting out and about Competing in Land Rovers Tools and Fabrication The Video Shack Tech Archive Land Rover Technical Archive Requests for part numbers Vehicles Series forum Defender forum Freelander forum Discovery forum Range Rover forum Military forum The Market Place For sale Wanted Board Statistics ... Nothing about members vehicles or anyplace that might be used for introductions & such. From what I can see this appears to be a very business like no nonsense forum that is not conducive to personal interactions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdong2 Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 managed to buy a 30 amp relay and fuse and wired it all in today and the fan works great. graham __________________________ 1962 2a swb 2oo tdi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeriAnn Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Hello, i believe you need 20+ posts in order to see the members vehicle section. That explains my confusion and at the same time negates the need for a newbie introduction posting. No newbies allowed. OK. Sorry for the thread hijack and off topic questions.

OK.Sorry for the thread hijack and off topic questions. Hi TeriAnn, Spent many an hour on your website, welcome! The restriction on the members vehicle section is for security. The idea is to stop thieving scum getting the low down on prospective targets. Old Blighty's a little smaller than the USA. Introductions are usually made in 'International forum'.
