Certainly cant of hurt

But main thing was I knew the vents would upset the purists so it had to be done  :icon_super:

back to the drawing board on this:

I noticed that part of the rubber gasket between the intake manifold and vally pan gasket had popped out after it overheated when the brakes locked on a few months ago - could this be connected to the new overheating?

Taurus = mondeo in the uk. Look for the st32 or 220 as these are fitted to the v6 high output engines and are a twin fan set up with dual thermostats

http://www.kenlowe.com/ not cheap but possibly easier than messing around making a ford probe one fit, just measure your rad and find one that fits best.

And if you are clever, and have the room you can stick the electric one on the front of the rad and use that when stuck in traffic and also call upon it when the engine driven one needs some help. :icon_biggrin:

We used to do away with stock fan completely and fit these for those extra couple of ponies.

They work well with k/low thermo.Fit and forget.

Be interested to compare air movement of stock set up against what these move.

Got one on my CJ with no engine driven fan and it only ever seem to cut in every now and then when tootling round off road.
Although i have found the capillary thermostat switches tend to stick on when full of mud as they aren't designed to be submerged  :jpshakehead:

My lovely diesel will be burning slightly less fuel and converting it to heat than your monster though :greggmo:

Ade,

My setup works really well for me both on and offroad, I never go above 85 deg C even under slow hard driving in the forest.

Ali rad from USA, twin 12" electric fans, thermo control. I haven't fitted a shroud but when time allows I'm going to look into it.

I still have the website and name of the rad I brought if you want it. Worked out to be €180 delivered.
