Search on here for otter switch there are several temperatures to choose from, I run a 92/87 but each car can prefer a different set up.

Are you sure it is the switch? A simple test is to bridge across the otter switch contacts and see if the fans come on.

The 'otter' switch,or 'thermoswitch' which switches your fans is a common part from many makes of vehicle,including Ford,Volkswagen,GM,Audi etc.You need to make sure it has a M22x1.5 thread and two terminals.The std operating temp is cut in at 95oC,but a very common preference nowadays is one that cuts in a bit lower at 92oC.Both are easily obtainable.

I stuck a list of Intermotor candidates at

IIRC 50250 is the most popular.

I think you're right Dave,i used to use the Intermotor and that number rings a bell.For a cross reference the Wahler part number is 6010.92 or 6010.95,depending on wheather you want the 92 or 95oC cut in.

O/T- I'll be glad that i dont have to use the blighters any more with L110,i think it's done from the ecu on that.Don't suppose you've been to Joo's and seen it lately have you,Dave?(haven't seen it myself for a while now
