Ran into a small bit of bother yesterday on a run across to my sisters.
Can't really blame the landie - it was, well for Scotland anyway, stunningly hot (76f) and there was an incident on the forth road bridge which meant we had spent about 45 minutes crawling towards it.
On the baking motorway the temp needle was getting very close to the red mark, and we were venting some steam - presumably from the small pipe outlet on the radiator cap.
To be honest, considering that it's an original sized radiator that's cooling a 4-ltr perkins it's done very well - this is the only heating issue I've had in 5 months ownership - and that was in exceptional heat.
So time to fit a fan methinks. I'm not convinced there is enough room between the big lump and the rad for a mechanical fan, so it will need to go in front of the radiator. Anyone done this (yes I did search!) with an electric fan?
Are these Kenlowe jobbies any cop, they seem a tad fecking pricy to say the least.
I just want to wire up as big a fan as possible onto a manual switch which I can turn on in traffic if need-be.
