Recommend me a Rad Fan.....
As the title says....any recommendations a new rad fan for my Zetec install. I have Polo Rad and Raceline Water Rail.
Are the cheapies on E-bay up to the job or should I be looking at something better?
Cheers,
Matt

I like radiators but i wouldnt say i was a huge fan 
The ebay jobbies should be fine but you need to make sure you have the right setup (suck or blow, ooh err  )
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Ebay fans are fine -- just be sure and get a mounting kit.

I slightly regret having spent a fortune on one from Rally Design as it was total overkill for a Pinto which clearly doesn't need 70quids worth
of fan!
I seem to remember justifying it at the time by believeing it'll 'come in handy' when I upgrade to a decent engine.

My view has changed, i had a cheap one from a show (i think it was 45 quid.) and it disintegrated on my trip to morocco. I spent the money on a proper
kenlowe fan now, its a different league entirely.
Its a very solid fan, and would definitely recommend it, has proper mounting handles, it does way a bit more than the cheapo ones though. If you dont
sit in traffic or go anywhere hot or plan to use the fan much then a cheap one is fine, but if (like me) you spent quite a bit of time with the fan
on, then spend the money on a good one first time around.

Peugeot 406 have a good 400W front mounted fan, my car creeps forward just with the fan running (well almost!)
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation
