Default Electric fan

Some time earlier in the build when I fitted the electric fan, and ditched the crappy little fixed fan that Triumph (bless them), had fitted, I knew that eventually I would have to wire it in to the system so it actually worked.

Recently, it has occurred to me that as the original fan ran continuously
because it was driven by a belt attached to the engine, there was no electric controller present for my new fan.

I trolled the net like we do, and came up with an absolute little gem of a controller, which not only looked the part, but had a really easy- to- work dial, to set the desired temperature for the fan to kick in.

And unlike some ( the most expensive one I came across was £124)

this one was very good value at £20 including postage!

I tested it in a cup of tea I had just made, and sure enough, it kicked in at 80c when I spun the dial around.

Really handy to have one in the kitchen if you want to know the temperature of your beverage in order to avoid a bad scald in the mouth :-)

I guess that in the winter you could dial in and reset the system to run a bit hotter in order to make the heater a bit more violent!
