Have you tried ebay? just got TWO 'kenlowe-esque' fans, complete in housing so i can remove my engine fan.

Think the total with postage was about £45.

There were several 12v fans on there when I was looking, maybe worth a try

Stick any old 12 volt elecky fan on it? Put a tempreture  therma switch on and away you go?

I've just fitted twin electric fans from a Focus kindly supplied by barmiebrummie.

Wired in on a switch for the moment they work fine, mines a V8 and they keep it cool, just got to remember to switch them on.

A lot cheaper than Kenlowes, I do have a viscous for sale only 3 months old but it's off a V8 so don't know if they are the same.

You will need 30 amp wire and switch, depending on whether or not you want a termo switch, in which case it is worth putting a light on the dash indicating they are working.

These are the best idea,

Thought it would be of interest to you, you can also fit a cut out switch on the dash as well for deep wading
