new thermostat and some hood vents and just done a 40 mile run up n down long m/way hills and all seems cool

Its nothing to do with the regear then?

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #52 on:** September 04, 2012, 10:19:00 PM »

Could well be

Certainly cant of hurt

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

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #53 on:** September 13, 2012, 09:22:03 PM »

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?

no it just means the rubber valley ends were .................... err not fitted very well to start with

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #55 on:** September 13, 2012, 09:35:17 PM »

bollox - there seem to be a zillion ideas on ifsja but i cant pin one down that is gonna help unless im prepared to throw bundles at it in the hope of hittin on summink

new fancy rad (&shroud) and a taurus fan seems to be the next step

i may move onto the kaiser for a while

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #56 on:** September 29, 2012, 10:01:03 PM »

right, who knows which taurus fan do I need?

and talk to me about changing the rad - W W W W W? Buy some funky new shite or recore or what? TBH buying one seems less hassle tho

im gonna beat this fucker into submission

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

bigjeepzj · « **Reply #58 on:** October 01, 2012, 08:30:35 PM »

ford probe as well

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #59 on:** October 01, 2012, 08:35:45 PM »

good works gents

i would have looked a right plum importin one

Dave The Sparky · « **Reply #60 on:** October 01, 2012, 08:51:43 PM »

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.

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #70 on:** October 01, 2012, 10:33:02 PM »

well that price is doable but im guessin that there will be a whole load of accessories to go with it

but, will that help on the long uphill overheating?

just curious coz fan change has to done

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.

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #72 on:** October 02, 2012, 07:02:08 AM »

seems perfect

Dave The Sparky · « **Reply #73 on:** October 02, 2012, 07:28:18 AM »

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

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

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.
