Yes you can leave it off.
How’s the electric 1 operating?

Via water temperature.... but also thinking to have an override switch also.
Definitly use an overide switch. I have mine on one fo the rad hose coupling from x-eng (link) but still have an override switch fitted if I think the guage is rising and it has not come on yet.

+1 for fitting a decent gauge. Personally I can't get my 200TDi to run above 85 degrees and I haven't had a fan since fitting the engine 4 years ago. I'm not towing anything heavy or working it hard off road of course. These engines are known for running cool, if it's getting too hot it might be worth flushing the rad out.

+ 2 for fitting a good aftermarket gauge that reads in numbers degrees.
Any recommendations?

Durite andTIM are two well known makes
That is pretty much what mine runs at most of the time, winter running light and it wont even get to 80.
Have had it boil in the winter working hard off road, one second normal temp, next boof heat seized, which is why I say proper temp gauge at all times.
My Tim gauge has just died after about 8 yrs use, in its defence I think I stretched the capilliary tube when removing the engine!
