So much for an innocent question . I suppose in that case I'm a fan of those fan's . Liggaim

Thanx for the replies guys.

I would preferably like to mount it at the bottom, mainly because the bonnet scoop rubber won't seal as well if its fitted on top. It presses on the fan. I had a quick look and there is anough space beloow the IC

David. Thank you. I think I will give it a try. Hopefully I wont messup my Trol a few weeks before the holidays.

I bought a 10inch fan. Smallest I could find. But it doesnt fit. Top or bottom. On top the bonnet doesnt close. At the bottom is presses on the injector pipe. Its a slime line fan. Can some please tell me if they know where to find an 8inch fan. All the shops hear say there suppliers can only do 10inch. Eish

I don't have any idea how much space there is, but am inclined to say that if you can't fit a 10" fan, you are probably wasting your time?

CUT THE BONNET -- put the biiger fan on top -- then get a bigger bonnet scoop [eg SUBARO or new Isuzu ]

OR -- put the IC in front behind the grille
OR -- leave the fan idea, blaas n klompie rande op n groter I C met beter vloei

Just wanna report back. Thanks everyone. More so thanx to christoslang

I got it fitted and it works well. What i have noticed once again is the difference in some ad-ons on the 3.0D Patrols. Defenit changes done over the years. More stuff means less space though.

Unfortunitly I did not take pictures as I went, it was the initial plan but as I got into it I forgot
I made a wiring harness with a fuse and relay in the loop. I used the window washer motor as ignition power. It runs permanently but I wil later add a switch for I find that when exceeding 140km/h it pics up vibration. I recon at that speed the incoming air is faster than what the fan runs. I also used plugs close to the fan so that I can unplug it when removing the cooler, rather than needing to remove or disconnect all the wires. I made a small cowel with aluminium angle iron to seal of the peace that sticks out a bit better. Futher on I used "plak spons" for sealing all the gaps. This also helps as an insolator for the vibration if there was any. But there is no vibration. It runs smooth. I must just get used to the fan blowing noise now.

On idling the egt's drops much quicker to below 200 than it used to and at 110km/h I gained about 40 degrees. The accelration from pull of seems smoother also.
