My slightly stiff fan has just decided to give up. Not ideal when you have a day out planned tomorrow and next weekend.

Anyone got an original I can swap with my duff one? Or can tell me where to get one?

There wasn't one amongst those bits Norman, sorry can't help frown


Mine packed up some time ago, was lucky and picked one up of the PH classifieds (or could have been Ebay?)

Does it suck or blow?

I would definitely give Neil a ring at http://www.mlperformanceparts.co.uk on Monday. If he cannot supply he may well know who can. Th alternative parts list only gives Kenlow (the original Leyland part is almost certainly not obtainable). I did research this once and found that a rad fan of a Laguna (not sure about the latest model) could be adapted very easily.

Here it is..







Its 20 years old and a bit noisy when you turn it.. that said was working ok when I took it off. I had twin fans put on my new Alloy Rad when my old one burst.

IMHO go for a new SPAL or Kellow or even a pair.. or similar.. but open to offers if you want it.

I always thought the Orange was kind of cool..

Thanks
