Tower view keep them , sent me one buy post ,about £24 if I remember. Phone number is in sprint, mail me if you need more info and I will dig out the paperwork.
There is a paragrph in the bible about them, I got the low temp one and the car hasn`t overheated since.

If you get the low temp otter switch then the fan will almost never switch off. Dave Batty is quite animated about this being a bad move and I tend to agree. The cooling fans were never designed to be run permanently and doing so sets you up for another component failure. A lower temperature thermostat has the desired effect of building in a margin for error without the nasty side effects. Tower view only sell the lower temp otter switch. Hope this helps.

This is simply not the case.
Maybe the low temp switch masks another problem but in my case its definatly helped the car run better.
I have only heard good things about Mr Batty so I respect his veiw .I can only say its good for my car whilst lts hard to understand why the cooling systems on the same model of car can have different cooling characteristics may this is the answer.
