Replacement Fans (UK Turbo & NA)

[Gordon]

It would appear there is a small issue with the fans, I hadnt picked up on it I'm afraid until I was just doing my final fit - everything had been put together loosly while I was waiting for my radiator back, and the problem was not apparent, probably due to the angle I could offer the fan in at when the radiator wasnt there...

The top edge of the fan shroud has two unused mounting lugs, that foul the top crossmember when the fan is presented up and need to be trimmed off.

I must stress, this is really easy - stanly knife, file, angle grinder - pick your weapon - just take it easy so as not to take off too much, or damage the fan; but it really is easy.

The pictures below detail the trimming required.

I'm really sorry about not spotting this earlier, and if anyone would rather bail and send their fans back, I'll give you your money back. That said, once trimmed they really are a perfect fit, and work really well!...

Appologies if this is a pain...

Gordon, i fitted mine last night before reading your post and they were very tight but I managed to get them in place ,, I only managed to secure the bottom nuts but it seems a solid fit....I will test them out when the weather improves..

Thanks for all your efforts in sorting these fans, ,,I am very happy with the fans and delivery service
Cheers

Sorry for the slowness at my end (again) - just got back from Italy, I will try and get the 'posties' ready for this weekend.

Obviously, the rest will be ready for donny.

No apology necessary, I appreciate the work you have put in. Just after an update was all.

I had mine in for fitting last week and got an urgent phone call from the garage - they wouldn't fit! Fortunately I was able to get on the website and see your post. Panic over - they are now installed!

[markv]

BTW, I've recovered the plugs from my old fans. If anyone would like them, just let me know.

Pinky, your new fans have arrived!

Thanks for all your efforts Gordon

[BFG in the BRG]

Hi Gordon,

My fans have also arrived, now all I have to do is fit them.......and put a switch in......and do all the other bits.......

Many thanks for all your hard work on this - really really appreciate it

[Gordon]

Thanks to everyone for thier patience with me; I get there in the end.

The garage queen has been out three days on the trot now, since 1st April, and I'm very happy with the performance of my new rad & the fans. Even on these cool days, the fans are still needed during the commute in & out of coventry, very happy with the noise levels (low), and the speed at which they bring the temp back down.

I'll catch up with the rest of you at Donny - I'll be there Saturday!

Gordon.
