OK, so apparently it doesn't aid cooling if your rad fan is on the wrong way round...go figure?
Bought it that way, changed it round tonight and now the top of the fan fouls the housing (when stationary). Of course, im not entirely sure whether it did this before when on the wrong way round....but basically, is there ANY way that turning it round could affect how it sits?

Ah ok, cheers Dave. Not that im saying i would have done much better, but must be the same person that put it on the wrong way round, but yes, it needs to sit further out.

which way should th fan be ??? should it suck or blow ???

[TOMMO0302]

Since its you asking, im assuming that must be a joke GW!? But i don't get it!

no seriously... never used an auxillary fan, so thought it would be good advice...

there's two ways to look at this... the std fan ( engine side ) is designed to blow air through the rad... therefore should the auxillary fan suck, to work in unison with the main fan in extracting the air, or blow to induce cooler air from the wheel arch through the rad ( bearing in mind this would then be against the air flow produced by the main fan )

[TOMMO0302]

Its just the standard alt belt driven fan

With the auxillary fan, I think it would suck the air through, under the wing is quite sheltered so I would have thought sucking the air through would be more effective. Thats just me thinking logically (trying to anyway), I don't know if thats the case.

[Jimmyarm]

It should be sucking, any women can tell you that one blowing and one sucking in unison is much more efficient than two trying to blow against each other

Seriously though, two fans blowing against each other arent going to do anything whereas one blowing through the rad and one sucking on the other side is going to increase the air flow over the rad vanes and therefore aid the cooling.

tis what I thought... but you never know what Rover are upto sometimes !!

LMFAO

We had this debate about suck or blow with Dogmatix. LOL
