Note that the CBS switch is normally "on" which is a bit retarded...switches the fan off when it reaches temperature :| Also if you ring
them and ask they will tell you the opposite!
I have two of the middle temperature range switches from them if you want one.

Depending on what temp you want your engine running at, I would recommend going into a motor factors and looking through the catalogue.
I got a VW temp fan switch (M20 x 1.5 IIRC) that comes on at 95 and turns off at 85 for my Polo rad. This is because I'm running a zetec and
they like to keep hot, but there were various other ranges. Think it cost about £12, but know you can get them cheaper if you hunt around.
Only a suggestion!

for a polo rad dont go to CBS, any motor factor can sort you out, or even ebay.
Mine comes on at 95, and is a touch too high for a blade as they like to run cooler really.

Ive got a spare one that comes on at 95 and off at 84.
I bought it for my indy but changed it for a hotter one,hence it has been used for a while but works perfectly.
It's your's if you want it.
