    Thermo fans on a V8 110?

    Gday all,

    Have just been working on a few things in the 110 engine bay (removing air con system mainly) and I was considering fitting the EL Falcon thermo fans I have that used to be in my Range Rover.

    Now there are a couple differences I can see, the major one being the top hose on the radiator fouling the cowel on the thermo's a fair bit.

    Now obviously I could just chop away at the plastic coweling and "make" it fit but I thought I would check here and see if anyone has any ideas or pics on what they have done to fit thermo fans in a V8 110.

    Thanks for any input.
    Cheers

    G'day,
    the thermo fans were fitted in mine from the factory and sit neatly in front of the aircon condensor. Maybe pick up a pair from the wreckers?

    Yeah I have those but I am removing every last part of the air con system. I want to replace the viscous fan with some decent thermo's that sit behind (engine side) the radiator and pull air through.

    All done. Steve drop by the shed and have a squiz if you like.

    EL Falcon fans slightly butchered.....fit just as well as they do on the rangie's.

    Now just need to remake the wiring set up to suit the 110 and it's a goer.

    Also removed the air con shizzbo from the engine bay in anticipation of converting to firewall vent flaps again. I cant wait!
    Cheers

    Good - you've saved me some work. I plan to do this on the D100 and should be similar to yours as mine had a V8 rad and cowling.

    However - It didnt happen without pix!!!
