on my b reg 90, the guy i got it off has installed a range rover electric
fan - seems to work fine, except for when i'm trying to start it after a
long run. I'm presuming the fan kicks in while i'm trying to start the
engine, for that "flat battery" effect until the engine has cooled down
enough that its not starting the fan at the same time as trying to start the
engine. Not pleasant when for example just filled up with petrol, or stalled
in the middle of the north circular (oops!) as you sit there for 5 minutes
waiting for it to start.
The wiring is a little bit of a nightmare, so i'm keen to add something
rather than try and correct it - but any ideas? i was thinking either a
simple fan cutoff switch (obviously could only use when it wasn't running if
no relay, but as long as i remembered to switch it off before starting), or
maybe a little more adventerously, a relay wired normally closed, with the
ignition point feeding the trigger...any better/simpler/easier ideas
gratefully recieved.
cheers
