Hi Everybody,
Quick question for my own sanity! My fan stopped working with the thermo switch in the radiator. Some quick testing lead to a replacement fan switch. The new one, which is a genuine 'made in Japan' Tourmax, which I believe is the OEM maker, arrived and I fitted it. The fan now doesn't kick in until the temp gauge is way up near 3/4 or 7/8. When it does kick in it only does so until it comes down to about 5/8 up the gauge.
I am right in thinking that's waaaay to high. All my previous non branded £3 fan switches kicked in under half way and stayed on until the gauge was down to about 1/4. I am much more comfortable with that so I want to see what everyone else's fans are doing.
Luckily with this heat I have an additional manual fan switch but it's very easy to forget when filtering through heavy traffic.
