ntipp 10 Posted October 11, 2012 Can anyone supply me with the above or give me advise on where to get and at what price. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted October 12, 2012 same as a normal one for a manual - best to replce with some slimline Spal-type fans though. Whats happened to yours? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ntipp 10 Posted October 12, 2012 well some really strange noises coming from their, whinning, clunking sometimes even looks like the fan is struggling to rotate. Would it be the case that it might be the fan OR the motor? Would you suggest i do both at the same time? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted October 12, 2012 might be worth just taking the fan out and removing the aux fan belt and running it that way. The fan is really quite beefy so shouldnt struggle. Best to diagnose it throughly first. Like you say, it could be just the fan, may be just loose on teh shroud, which would cause it to clunk as it trips in and out. Where are you based - i'm sure there will be someone local who could cast their eyes over it for you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ntipp 10 Posted October 17, 2012 So just to follow on gonna get a new fan fitted, Bosch £180 Now after the Upper Radiator Hose FLANGE which has a tiny hole in it, cant get anywhere appartently obselete. Does anyone have one of these? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted October 17, 2012 much cheaper and far more efficient to replace the whole setup with some Spal slimline fans, about £50 each, you could even get away with just one. Very light, very efficient and quiet, so all advantages. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
