hi is there a cheaper way of removing the fan and replacing it with a electric one other than using a kenlowe or pacet one
i have heard a peugeot one fits with a switch but i want a automatic one so no switching as il prob forget

Evilgoat:
B4 Audi A/C assist fan would fit easy enough I think (Audi 80/90/100) Main fan may be a bit too deep.

Will check silverlake next time I'm there.

Use the thermo switch and stat housing from the aircon model,  find a fan at the breakers and fabricate mounts  :D wire using relay  ;)

Range Rover Blues:
Cheapest way is, leave it alone.  Electric fans won't shift as much air abd don't save any fuel, certaily bnot enough to pay for themselves.

Skibum346:
I'm nearly finished doing miune now. I've used a pair of air con fans from a scrap 1984 RRC along with the excellent X-Eng fan switch housing. I'm wiring each fan through a relay with a three position switch to control the fans (one position is automatic) and will have LED tell tales to see the state.

There are wiring diagrams on the X-Eng site that are pretty good and provide a niumber of different options.

Good luuck
