Hi all

Anyone know of a cheep source for a/c cooliong fans for a Disco 300 TDi,
both mine have packed up. Checked all the usual things and there is power to
to the fans but they dont turn. Do they fit the same fans to any other cars
that would be found in a breakers yard?

Cheers

Peter.

I'm surprised that both appear to have failed. One maybe, but both?

There's probably another reason. Are the motors earthed via their case or
via a separate lead?

Just checked the power feed at the moment as time and light not to mention
work get in the way. It's pretty tight up where the connectors are in front
of the rad. Tracing the circuit was a nighmare, the Haynes book of lies told
me that there were two relays, but not the location. I finally foung the
control relay above the pasengers feet. Power was getting there and the
relay was working. Next job pull off the grill again!

Peter.
