Les Henson Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Rover 820 has outside fans. Pity you are so far away, Nige, I have a couple here. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Rover 820 has outside fans. Pity you are so far away, Nige, I have a couple here. Les. Les, The 820 I had didnt! Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giles Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 (almost the first time I've dared to answer anything on here - you're all too clever 4me) Nige - my lucky winner would be citroen CX diesel (if you can find one over there). Twin leccy fans on the outside, in fact the entire rad unit is a perfect fit for a defender... Giles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bow Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 any disco with A/C twin fans, purpose made frame, and fit, and most of us junk them when off roading the truck, all the best, Bow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 Tried A/C Fans yonks back,....they don't seem to shift much air.? It would just be nice tro have a shopping list when I go to the scrappy, rather than look at every car and say "Nope" Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticbadger Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Another vote for Peugeot 306. Twin external push fans in an easy to modify plastic housing. Blow like F%$& and are normally cheap. I've used the on a couple of projects before, including as a single fan with the housing modified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRecklessEngineer Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Tried A/C Fans yonks back,....they don't seem to shift much air.? They do at 24v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wib Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 my vote defo peugeot 306 got a set on me rr 3.9 on a thermo switch payed a 10 from the sgrappy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Some Citroens too - I got a set, including cowl and built in relays for £10 As far as I can tell, those are exactly the same fans as fitted to 306s. At least, they look exactly the same between my girlfriend's 306 and a colleague's xsara - not surprising given Peugeot & Citroen's relationship.

tuko Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I had a Citroen fan for several years til the bearings went. Now I've upgraded to a mammoth fan from a 6 cyl BMW 5 series(fits to the outside of the radiator). Never measured the thing but its huge and moves a few molecules. Todd.
