Radiator fan
Posted: Tue Jul 31, 2018 4:50 pm
Hi Elan people
I've got a Plus 2 and the (original) radiator fan is, I think, on its way out
The car got really hot in traffic and I found the fuse had blown. I replaced the fuse and it's working again but I strongly suspect the fan is seizing or something; the fan seems quite stiff to turn by hand.
It's a standard car, with the Stanpart rad (recored some time ago)
I thought it would be a good idea to upgrade the fan and want to find my options.
Looking through the archives I found reference to a Cliveyboy kit. Is he still selling these?
Matty's sell a basic modern fan for about ?45 but I don't think it comes with fittings and SJ Sports Cars don't list anything
Any help would be appreciated.
BTW I was on the forums ages ago - I joined 18 years years ago right when it all started - but haven't been here for a very long time. Still toddling around South London in the same car...
Thanks in advance
David
