I picked up an electric fan for a fiver from the local breakers, with a bit of sawing the plastic cowel one from an astra fits like a dream :D

i fitted the kenlowe, but i had to get the rad re-cored first ( £90 )

the electric kit worked well, once i set up the thermo control properly :roll:

but when i moved the kit over to the 5 door, the thermo switch had given up, so fitted a manual control on the dash board, the only time ive ever needed the switch it on, was when i was winching for an hour, with it idling 8)

stuntman:
The volvo 960 fan is very versatlie and is used on alot of kit car installations, I may see how it measures up as it is a sucker fan.

Thanks everyone for the quick responses, as you may have guessed I really want to change alot of the truck from standard!

I'm with RRblues, I messed about with electric fans on a few of my cars.

Thing is there fine just day to day but when your asking that bit extra, like when towing up a steep hill. That's when they become woefully lacking and forever after you'll have one eye on the temperature gauge.

IMO they're just not worth the hassle and expense.
