We haven't had a chance to put them in yet, it's winter time ;)

They will get back to us soon with their finds.

We are all stumped to be honest.

I will come back when I know.

I'm thinking a bad compound or an accidental mispack of 24 volt motors in 12v package but I'm only speculating of course.

What I can say is they took the problem serious and will find out what happened. I'm almost hoping it was our side but I just can't see it.

Really happy with their service though mate. Don't really see that kind of service much these days so kudos regardless of the crap mark went through.

But didnt the same thing happen after fletch replaced them? If so i wouldnt think it's the fans.

What else could it be mudski? The installation is faultless. So it can't be the fans, and it can't be the install... Be very interesting when you guys finally work it out!

All this intellectual humour has got me in a spin.

Will certainly be interesting to read what caused this problem.
Too much of a coincidence for all three fans to have same problem?
Surely the amount of checking has them installed correctly?
All indications point to incorrect installation/fan rotation, but the third installation was by a separate mechanic, both shops couldn't get it wrong?
Where was the power supply picked up from? Could it be an over voltage/amperage situation?
Just thinking out loud fellas, go easy.

Alternator giving too much power,,,, then not enough,,,, if the brushes are only touching on the edges of the comutator
it can cause problems. I think a constant supply of power may be a factor.
What alternators do you normally us with a 6.5,
Interesting problem though

It was all tested though, no issue with power supply.
