Thanks guys thats good news

I have the opportunity to to get some quality tyres at a good price but size is 195 14c standard as you know are 185 would i have problems if i fitted the 195s?

Quick update thanks to your help guys I diagnosed the problem to a bad fan motor, motor now changed and two speeds now working fine. I had bought a fan from brickwerks this week but needed to confirm a few things, by the way the motor from brickwerks has smaller fan blades about 20mm shorter so I sw...

Thanks again guys I'm sure I'll get somewhere now

Thanks Robsey thats the information I was looking for I'll do some investigating later and workout why I just have the high speed working

I'll try and get a picture tomorrow but the only way i could see how it could be two speed is if there was some sort of resistor but at the current that this motor draws it would need to be quite a resistor. brickwerks only have one fan motor listed for the diesel with just two terminals ground and ...

Yes 2 lives out but they join together on the one live fan motor terminal?

I was checking out the cooling fan on my '89 1.6 TD as it sounds really noisy when it does turn on, the radiator switch has 3 terminals live, and apparently speed 1 and 2, the 2 wires from the switch red/black and red/blue both join to one terminal on the fan the other terminal  on the fan is ground...

That is true but was it needed for just sound proofing or did it aid cooling too or not?

Thanks for the replies, I might leave it off for a while and see how it effects engine temperature. I've got a trip down though france soon I'm sure i'll need all the cooling I can get.  

I recently removed the under engine metalwork with the sound deadening material to do some work on the engine, its seems to not make a great difference to the engine noise and was wondering if it would be better to leave it off in respect of engine cooling especially in this hot weather, could alway...

The wiring to the filter side switch is blue and black the head switch is grey but has no wiring connected probably been deleted at some time, I've checked with multi meter its normally closed i need.

Thanks guys, I didn't know there was so much to it, I have a recon engine so that doesn't help and only one switch is connected the filter one so think I'll go with blue, thanks again.

Hi guys, the oil pressure switch on my jx td has failed it's a brown switch which seems to be incorrect for that engine as the only ones on the Brickwerks site doesn't include a brown one, seems i need a normally closed one but which colour/pressure?
Any ideas please
