350i radiator fan sensor
Discussion
Thanks for that jmorgan, but that doesn't help me find a replacement part!!!!
2.8i capris never used this type of sensor. It is a large clip in type, the body about the size of a 2p piece and the sensor part about the size of 1p piece, each section about 8mm deep.
Still help HELP!

Help please!
My fan doesn't work on my 1987 350i, and it's the fan sensor that's at fault. My local factors can't match it, and it isn't a range rover sensor tough it's a range rover radiator!
Please help!

It's not a rangie rad as it is a special. Similar to the rangie but different. The sensor is also used on the S series so get one from a TVR dealer/specialist. Not that expensive.
Or, try something completely different. Got fed up with the crap fan and extremely amateur otter switch arrangement that is totally inaccessible. So have had my new ally radiator made with no otter switch and instead have bought an adjustable temp sensor/switch that fits into the top hose. Will give me adjustable fan switch-on temp and no more leaky otter switches. Will be assembling it this weekend complete with twin fans so will hopefully be the best cooled SEAC around.
Cost for the temp sensor was about £50 from Merlin Motorsport at Castle Coombe. If you dont want to take the rad out and seal the otter switch hole just leave it in and forget about it!
Now all I need is to get the bloody cast of my broken leg and I can drive her again!!

Brm Brm,
Is it a kenlowe one? If so how do you wire it up? I've lost the instructions on mine.
Theres 3 pins on it and I'm guessing that the power connects to one of the outer pins and the other outer one goes off to the +ve fan then the -ve fan is earthed on the chassis. Is this right? and if so whats the middle one for?
Gareth.
Take a look at Kenlowe site...www.kenlowe.com/fans/consumers/fans05.html# if its the same as yours give them a ring. They are extremely helpfull and know all about wedge cooling problems. If you can splash out the cash buy yourself twin 13" fan kit. Awesome cooling and all the relays switches, and a decent thermostat that fits into top hose etc.
Will have a look at my wiring later and get back to you.

Hi guys,
I spent ages looking around (and pestering Land Rover dealers) for the fan switch for my '86 S2 350i
Look no further than your local MG/Rover dealer... Show him the switch and he'll produce a new one for you. These apprear to have been fitted to most Rover cars with electric fans for some time.... i.e metro's etc.
The rubber seal is also a Rover part and should be changed at the same time.... If you're struggling I should be able to get some current partnumbers.. (I now know a tame parts man)
Regards,
Brian (and a Red 350)
