Radiator fan switch

[stalkydog]

Hello All
Has anybody bought an otter switch (radiator fitting type) recently?
Mine has suddenly decided to switch the fans in at about 60c, consequently the fans run almost permanently.I suspect that the switch will soon fail completely
I need an alternative part number for the switch, other than the TVR K0094 so that I can go to my local car spares shop.
Can anyone help?
Cheers

just order one from the usual places and it will arrive in the post in a couple of days. IIRC Its not a standard part as it has a lower switching temp than the normal range rover version.

Thanks Bigdods
Didnt think about the temp rating being different

I fitted a Facet 7.5000/F to mine recently. It opens earlier (92/87) than the std one.

Lots of useful info on here.

Edited to add: most factors should be able to source one

nice one tonys
looks like an intermotor 50170 will do the trick as well, £6 delivered,but I'll nip out to the spares shop tomorrow and hopefully it will be even less.

Hi
i am under the impression Lucas SNB717 (says its for a jaguar) is an otter switch for Chimaera use, this one does come on a little earlier, i think at 87 degrees. its being fitted today during a service, also water wetter being added. i put in an override switch just in case as well. i think the otter switch was £12 from ebay, so cheap enough to get as a spare. i will let you know after the weekend how this otter switch behaved, Lester

Let me know how it goes

hiya, new otter and water wetter seemed to go very well, temperature guage has not gone past 90 and is usually at 80-85 . i am not sure if its a combination of both, but it definitely works. otter comes in a lot earlier, i suspect my old one was failing, i havent had to have the car heater on once this weekend :-)
