I'm wondering where I can get a temperature switch for my thermo-fan? Are they available and where do you get them?

Oh and where would be the best place to put it?


Cheers
Sam

I have a factory fitted one on my Rover and the switch is in the bottom radiator hose, get onto Steve at Brickworx and see if he has any floating around.
Cheers Pete

Kind of makes you proud to be an AUSSIE

Maybe try Ashdown

Also worth putting in a relay if you don't already have one

Sorry, where would I put the relay? I hate electrics...

You would put it between the thermo switch and the fan. Instead of the thermo switch carrying all the load (and possibly burning out) it just switches the relay (that then provides the fan with it's power). The relay is a much beefier switch and can cope with the load much better.
They usually come with a wiring diagram and aren't very hard to wire up.
Also very good on headlights (high and low beam). Ashdowns have a nice twin relay for the high and low beams (good way to make your headlights brighter due to less current loss)

Awesome, thanks for the explanation!

I used one of those for a while.It does work reasonably well but once you put it in a protective box it became a little too bulky for my liking.I'm back to using a simple on/off switch arrangement via a relay for now.
