Electric Cooling Fan Replacement Options
The two fans in front of the radiator on my 98 disco no longer work. I took them both out and tested them and one spins really slow and the other not at all. I also noticed them acting the same while on the car so I know they're getting power. I live in Texas and it isn't even hot as it's going to be mid summer and it overheats with the A/C on in traffic on when I'm crawling around on the trail. Amazon has the OEM fans for a cool $450 but I was wondering if anyone has replaced these with another brand/style/etc. that doesnt cost $450. I also ordered a fan clutch because the one on there right now probably hasn't been changed and spins pretty freely.
The efan out of a 90's Toyota Corolla is the exact same unit as the D1. When I had my D1 I grabbed several from a pick n pull type yard for like 5.00 each. I did not keep the fan surround or the fan blades. I grabbed just the efan motor's themselves, removed my old & dead LR unit's cut off the OEM harness, used two butt connectors per efan motor, and re-installed them. Zero issues and done for 10.00.
It will be the smaller efan for the AC not the engine efan on the Toyota Corolla btw.
