ok

bit embarassing but what do you mean by fan switch They come on automatically? or is it the actual bit you turn for fan speed...

you know when you wish you kept quiet, well, this is one of those times

A fan switch usually refers to the plug in connector that sits in the rad.

With Keith....... I'm not so sure........

Most motor factors have them. Mines from Halfords and has been in there for years without problem. Only about £5 when I got it

It doesn't fit into the block, it fits into the thermostat housing which fits on the head which fits to the block....

Try Partco or Brown Brothers etc. Or even Halfrauds etc....

I won't be needing mine later on this year...
