1500 hrs !

[Le TVR]

And I dont mean 3 o'clock....

Yesterday there was a loud screeeeetch noise closely followed by the temperature gauge going into uncharted territory. Roadside check revealed the cooling fan was seized

Still trying to locate a new motor but of course it seems that you have to buy a complete fan assembly.

While searching, I discovered the spec sheet for the original fan (Davies Craig DC31) and noticed the comment "average life - 1500hrs @ 80°c"

So thats 12 years and 120,000km of Mediteranean weather and its dead..... maybe I got my moneys worth after all?

Ah well, back to looking for a new fan motor or maybe I should just find a modern equivalent like Tripac?.

Any ideas?

Changed mine to something like a kenlowe last year.Even though i just threw it on its far better for cooling as has better design of blades, thus shifting more air,its also quieter and uses less power
