slightly off topic but my friend has a M@zda 626 Turbo and he doesn't
have his licence so his car sits at home. He starts it every week to
keep the oil flowing and the other day he was doing just that but this
time after just sitting there for a few minutes the temperature gauge
was over half way and another minute later it was at full. He had no
idea why and so his dad checked it out and found that the thermo fan had
stopped working ... haha anyway he was lucky not to blow anything up.

Subject: KEEPING IT COOL
All,
I have recently purchased a second hand thermo fan, and I have a
question:-
I once installed a thermo fan on my Escort. I used a Davies Craig
adjustable
thermatic switch, which was quiet expensive. Surely cars that come
standard
with thermo-fan(i.e-all FWD's) would have a similar thermatic switch.
Would
it be possible to use one from a FWD and make it adjustable using a
variable
resistor??. I assume that this would be cheaper than buying the Davies
Craig
unit($50-60 at my local auto stores)
Forever trying to save $$$$$$,
Damien
