Reply With Quotenope the fans mechanically driven, just get a 6x4 tarp and make up some ropes to loop over the mirrors and a couple of occy straps to attach it to the steering brush guard.

G'day all
starting to budget and get together various pieces for a cape trip next year.
Seeing a few posts about radiators being bitten by the fan, so I was wondering if it's possible to put an interruptor switch in, so that if needed for deep river crossings you can just switch it off
Cheers

so put a switch in.... hook it up to a small mp3 player with a speaker mounted on the passangers b piller so that every time you flip the switch it plays
"ok, get out and rig the tarp"

Is it possible to replace the current one with say...a thermatic fan that can be switched off?
the name Davis Craig springs to mind..

A electric fan motor would most likely fail if it got dunked under water.Originally Posted by Disco Muppet
The current fan can/would stop if dunked and without doing damage...

The A/C fan infront of the radiator/behind the grill is electric, and I guess mine's been dunked a few times .... no failure.
The viscous fan on mine got dunked through a mud hole a few weeks back, and it definitley didn't stop, because the whole front of the engine bay & underside of the bonnet got turned brown ! See attached pic'.
Chemtech Truck Wash does a great job at clening this out of the engine bay

Similar thread here about 3 weeks ago. If it's a V8 then consider putting a 16" fan in. Makes the car quieter most of the time - not much difference in fuel economy. If it's a TD5, then don't........
