Hello all

Looking at removing viscous fan unit from 300TDi to try and improve economy etc.

Been told car performs slightly better too?????

at the moment i dont mind fitting an electric fan with manual switch inside until i can aford a proper Kenlowe jobbie.

Any suggetsions on type or make i should be looking for from scrappies, can it be zip tied to radiator etc. etc.

Any advice gratefully appreciated.
