I have serious problems with fitting a huge fan becuase the intercooler is
like 2.5" thick. Its an 80W ford laser or something similar and covers the
radiator well and has about 5mm clearence from the water pump. Yeh i have a
VDO gauge but the sensor has a M10 (or similar in Imperial) and the CA is
M12 so it reading is way off anyway. I will get an adaptor made for this
soon if its possible.
