Seized electric cooling fans - HELP
Discussion
Hello Darling
I will fiddle with them when I get home (probably need the brushes, etc cleaning out), so you will just have to be patient. If I can sort them on Friday night you can still be out for your birthday run.

the bearing making sure you can rotate it. 
I recently replaced the single 12inch original fan on my 350.
It was a Davies, Craig fan. So I looked at there web site to try and get some information on a direct replacement, no direct replacement but looking at the technical info I find that a 14 inch fan will fit the mountings. Who said size doesn't matter
.
I also looked at the Kenlowe version, but the big problem with a single fan if the depth of the fan and the bonnet clashing with the fan when opened. May not be a problem with a double set up. The Kenlowe is 75mm thick and the Davies Craig is only 50mm. The comparision of the two was almost the same in terms of draw of air
Found a web site supplying them in UK (www.thinkauto.com) £85 down and 2 days later the new fan is in place and 14 inches are blowing a hooley through the engine bay and under the sides of the car!!
They did have listed a type of 'Kenlowe switch' by Davies Craig as well but unfortunately they did not have it in stock, it was cheaper than the Kenlowe version. So a Kenlowe switch was used to override the otter switch. I wanted to be in control of when the fan kicks in, plus it is easier to overide the kenlowe switch than the otter switch if required when out and about.

Talk about jumping in when the bed hasn't yet cooled! You lot are hopeless (or hopeful?)
A large element of in-you-endo going on here.
However, it's worth it for the advice, after all the priority is fixing the car, so as I have said in the past, over to you dear. (Anyone need their coat held?) and thanks for the (useful) suggestions.
