Thinking Of Fitting a Kenlowe Fan - Advice Please
Telaren:
I am thinking of replacing my fan on my Disco 1 for a Kenlowe fan
What do I need to remove, replace, throw-away and does the kenlowe fan bolt in easy? :?
Can I just remove the fan and leave the fan pully or do I have to replace the belt for a shorter one?
What bits do I need?
Appreciate any advice including best place to get a kit or bits. :?:

The Kenlowes come with a kit that allows you to fasten it direct to the rad core. Before you buy consider a Pacet, someone on here told me they are more efficient than a Kenlowe. Anyway, the quick fix kit is a bit like tie-wraps but with big rubber feet. Hardest bit is the wiring and I bought a non-adjustable sensor from Merlin Motorsport at Castle Coombe, but you can buy the adjustable ones for sensible money now too. The non-adjustable probe can be moved up or down the rad to get the switch on temp correct.
Oh, and mine has twin fans, they can burn a fan belt in an afternoon and if you put the relays in a waterproof box they run too hot and melt, even though each one has it's own relay rated at 30amp.

Got a kenlowe fitted , been on about 7 months now , only problem was a burn't out fuse , they sent new one straight away! Think it might of been water ingress? Now covered holder in grease and put in surgical glove for waterproofing!! :D
As for fitting , just undo old fan and remove , i didn't change any other belts , pulley is still in situ. The instructions are easy to follow and if i can fit one then you'll have no probs!! Will get some photos uploaded later for you ok?

Got twin Pacets on my V8. Got the adjustable switch but I think I am gonna change it for the non adjustable one as it seems to stick on now and then and its probably cos it is nearly always covered in mud!
Great cooling, engine is more responsive and quieter. Wiring was easy, straight to the battery with an inline fuse. But thats the problem with the switch sticking on, the battery goes flay if it does!

im just bought myself twin 12" fans for my 3.9 EFI
i went for some off ebay called SPAL which are atleast half the price of kenlowe and pacet.... really good fans aswell, they soon cool things down
