zx td 94 cooling fans not working (twin cooling fans)

[jeremy]

Never bothered to look or find out - but from reading Haynes it looked unusual as does the oil cooler and BX seemed to only have 1 on most so i have always thought of them as an extra - particularily as the second one doesn't seem to be needed.

I've always wondered what this one has towed as it would seem to have led a sheltered life but the clutch seemed to have been changed before we got it at 53,000.

oldnail,

gsf may charge £10 less but i dont have a GSF nearby and needed one of these switches quikly.

getting it for £18 meant i could change it same day. 8)

I am happy to pay an extra £10 to have peace of mind, especially as the car is used every day in stop - start traffic.

£10 would have represented only a small fraction of the cost of a new head gasket which may be needed if the car over-heated.....

I cheated a bit here and by passed the radiator switch with a manual one on the dash until the replacment arrived.Only took 24hours though.If you want real piece of mind I would have a good look at the relays,mine were really badly corroded on the terminals and looked ready to give up the ghost at anytime.

yeah good point, i did check the relays and the coonections and sprayed them with wd40 and they all look pretty good....

i was thinking, i have a donor 1.9d zx with twin fans but there is only 2 pins on the fan switch, i spose this means they are only single stage fans rather than twin stage as in my td - was the switch you got from gsf the twin pin type or three pin type???????

cheers

Mines the three pin type.GSF part number N93476,you can find it on their site under Switches,senders and insruments.

fair enough, ill get it from gsf next time then - if the car lives to a ripe enough old age to require another one...
