Why do you want to do this?
Tdi's run very cool anyway.
If you have air con you could drive just the fans with a additional switch!
I think the Peugoet 405 twin fan assembly will fit between grill and rad, also the two fans off a RR I would go with two small fans between grill and rad if i was you, simple to mount and you will find servicing in the future much easier!

True, but its an avoidable engine loss. Steve
that's pretty much why i want to do it, with the price of fuel nowdays i want to get as much mpg as possible. plus in the winter it would be nice to have a warmer disco quicker.
I run a 97 Disco 300Tdi with the fan removed for most of the year ( put back on in V hot weather or for towing ). Confirmation that Tdi's do run cool. P.S I find no difference in mpg either way ! Richard.
