As the fans are on the engine side of the rad, they must suck.
As to the fuse the best advice is to forget the fusebox and do a seperate mini loom, as the fuseholder position always melts and causes blown headgaskets etc as the circuit is overloaded, this and a fuel pump rewire are the two most important things on a old cossie electrically speaking.

i found the problem,a blown 10 amp fuse in a 30 amp holde.r,as soon as i replaced it they worked,they had been working fine before on the 10 amp fuse.i read in another thread that it was another fuse so i had been looking in the wrong place.im having the fuel pump rewired when i get all the stage 3 bits put on,just waiting on a stud and nut kit coming and a head gasket set(just as a precaution)
