Gents, are you aware of the Kenlow fan thermostat. This has a variable switch 
point and may be fitted to any rad. They are not cheap but do perform very well.

Hi Derek, on my car I have a two speed fan and used to have the lower speed 
connected to a manual switch for some time, over time and probably due to 
another failure of a radiator fan switch the lower speed wasn’t connected 
anymore. The fan was now fed through a relay as when the switch was used to 
directly feed the fan the switch was prone to failure. I found the dual 
temperature switch on eBay although I only searched for radiator fan switch, 
when the dual one turned up I thought why not. After that I bought a simple 
on/on switch so I can select which ever I want, a lot of this stemmed from when 
I changed the zetec thermostat and found the fan would be running at the 
engines normal running temperature, hence the original reason for the search. I 
like to be able to power up the fan whenever I may want but also have the fan 
stop when the temperature drops, without anymore input from me

Hi Bill, 

So you found an unusual replacement, then?  Just wondering what advantage that 
would give in real world conditions over a manual switch to back up the 
standard thermostatic single output switch.  Or worth fitting a two speed fan 
as well?  

Still that is why it is worth asking a question on here.  Folks come up with 
all sorts of ideas and experiences.  Great!

Derek

The last radiator mounted fan switch I fitted was a dual output for two speed 
fan, one output was 88c the other much higher, I run on the higher temperature 
leg, I’m going to connect both through a common on/on switch so I can easily 
select either

Hi Derek

I had to replace my fan switch last year and ended up with the lower 
temperature one (88C-95C), my thermostat is the same as yours, an 88C one. If I 
were you I would go for the 98C to 103C you mentioned because I find the fan 
can come on with the engine at normal running temperature (needle in the 
middle), which means it's on a lot more.
The switch I took out was a 98C to 103C but, as I was doing the replacement 
with a full water system, I didn't fancy holding my finger over the hole until 
another switch came through the post!
The next time I need to drain the system, I'll fit a higher temperature switch. 
(Shouldn't be long, the increasing differential whine means a replacement 
gearbox is now required, so I'll need to drop the engine down.)

Regards
Dave English
