Ebay
Scrapyard

And which fans?...are you sure its the fans, not a fuse or relay or sensor?
RE: help with fans - Ashwoody - 27-12-2013

RE: help with fans - Piggy - 27-12-2013
Scrappy...fiver surely?
Or put up a wanted...I think I got some even...may have thrown them out to be honest!
RE: help with fans - Toms306 - 27-12-2013
Can't cost much from a scrapyard. I've never been able to sell fans when breaking cars, they just end up scrapped usually!
RE: help with fans - Ashwoody - 27-12-2013
ill have to see if i can find a scrapyard around here
RE: help with fans - Toms306 - 27-12-2013
Autobreak in Colchester was pretty good, only one left that lets you walk around and get your own parts!
Or Whip St Motors near Claydon, but they don't let you walk around and charge quite a bit.
RE: help with fans - Ashwoody - 27-12-2013
ive been told whip street motors are ment to be good yea ill try that autobreak cheers
RE: help with fans - Toms306 - 27-12-2013
I find whip st are just rip off merchants tbh lol....charge a lot for parts, pay out little for scrap! But I must admit they've always had what I needed at short notice.

I have some fans here, been sat outside for a while and i cant remember how short i cut the wires. But they're yours for cheap, just the postage will get you!
RE: help with fans - Ashwoody - 28-12-2013
theres a guy down the road with a 306 stripped so going to see what he has later
if not ill give you a shout tom thanks
RE: help with fans - Ashwoody - 28-12-2013
im off to the scrapyard soon and wondering which fans will fit as he says he dosenty have a 2001 model in ? any help is much appreciated thanks
RE: help with fans - Niall - 28-12-2013
Any set of double fans from a 306 will fit.
RE: help with fans - Ashwoody - 28-12-2013
thankas
RE: help with fans - Ashwoody - 28-12-2013
anyone know how to unplug them they look like theres a specific way to disconnect the wires?
RE: help with fans - Piggy - 28-12-2013
Twist and pull
RE: help with fans - Niall - 28-12-2013
Unscrew the lock ring and pull. Can be a right PITA to do. Check the pins for corrosion and clean up if needed.
RE: help with fans - Ashwoody - 28-12-2013
done all that however on the new one there are not the same amount of pins as the original im getting rather annoyed with it
RE: help with fans - Ashwoody - 28-12-2013
eventually got it all wired in but still nothing temp goes past 100 and dosent kick in removed the brown plug and still nothing :/
RE: help with fans - Niall - 28-12-2013
Ah if you have removed the brown plug and your getting nothing then it needs a new fan controller which is fixed behind the bumper underneath the passengers headlight. Can pick them up for about £15 delivered. Im assuming you have checked all your fuses?
RE: help with fans - Ashwoody - 28-12-2013
yea have checked all of the fuses going to double check it all tomorrow will have look to see if i can find that fan controller don't know what the guy did before i owned it but there are wires everywhere its a right bloody mess
do you mean the temp sensor?
