Over heating issue, nothing to do with the fans itself is my mechanical answer *LMAO*Quote:

And your cool as a cucumber was only on a needle gauge which means nothing....
But as I said I'm no mechanic......will be interesting to find out there results
It has nothing to do with the electronic motors on the fans? They are fine mate...Quote:

Any updates on this Andy???
You would not believe it I was looking for this thread today to ask the same thing but I could not find it!
Did you read my mind, Todd?
No news, never heard back gents???
Current fans are working fine but time will tell in summer time I guess.Quote:

work has been hectic to be honest mate but they are working fine with short distance.Quote:

Any update on this AB?
Ive asked as well a while back maybe now MB is
a member we can get an idea on the cause
G'day Folks,
Wow, I just found out this specific thread existed, all 7 pages:-)
Thanks heaps for all your assistance to AB whilst I was a non member and having troubles roadside. I guess an update from MB is in order here, haha!
Unfortunately I'm still as stumped as we all are but can say this. Davies Craig were truly amazing, hand delivered 3 fans all the way out to Yarra Glen and took the others back to their base for their own investigations.
The ones in the car now were dated 4 weeks manufacture prior to their delivery.
The 3 ones prior were all dated quite closely around 1.5 to 2 years ago now.
Upon their awesome efforts in coming out to dropoff/collect I did query possibilities of a batch of 24v incorrectly labelled 12v but was assured not possible.
Not sure what else I can say but she's been running great and do honestly appreciate their and all your efforts especially Fletch, Cheers :-)
PS: There is a little method to my madness having removed the stock fan and mounting twin thermos side by side with a gap between. Leaves just enough room for the Harrop charger belt heading down below for when I win Tatts:-)
You have 2 fans hooked up in parallel? When they spin they generated a voltage/current and they are feeding back into each other, put an individual relay on each motor so when they aren't on they are isolated from each other.
Thanks AGman, yep each fan runs back to its own 180amp relay and is now just recentally installed thermo controller by this ripper company from the USAhttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...016/04/178.jpg
