My Induction and a fan question
Well here's my engine bay with it's new Apollo kit fitted. I Like the fact that it is black, matches the rest of the car, it's actually mated to the OE intake near the battery as the garage says I won't have problems with water entering if I hit standing water, the sound is nice and the install good.
But here's my question, how many fans should I have? I have two, on the piccie the one on the left is a fan and the cover on the right is a dummy, but behind the radiator on the right is another fan. The Haynes manual shows a pretty upright rad for the 120 and a longer one for the 180, but mine seems to look like a 180 radiator!

Ahhhh what it's like to have an 'empty' engine bay... That monster of an induction kit would never fit into mine.
It does look like a 180 radiator with the 2 fan covers, although the 2nd one in the 180 has a fan in it.
