sweety Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Sorry I don't know the answers to your Q's but get the air con drained before you even think about disconecting any of the pipe work as the gas/fluid can/will kill you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 The aircon fans are for cooling the aircon matrix, not an engine. Get to the scrapyard, get a decent sized engine fan or two off of something else, and then look at the X-Eng Fan switch (even if you don't buy one, look at the wiring diagram on the web).

Bowie69 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 If the Disco rad is the same size as the Rangie one, find a Mondeo V6 with aircon setup, this has two fan which push huge amounts of air, and fits straight to the radiator frame -well with a little trimming it clips in. Â Other than that I have one self tapper to hold the cowl off the fins and job done -keeps my V8 nice and cool (until I broke it ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 There are a couple of wiring diagrams on my website, and thermostats in my ebay shop. wizard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmiebrumie Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Some Citroen/Peugeot fans fit with a little trimming as well John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest otchie1 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 If you had AC you won't need a shiny switch adapter just replace one of the thermoswitches in the thermostat housing - Intermotor 500091 or 500090 will wind in there as will any M22 from yer factors.
