ok its in, took me 2 hours and it works perfectly, now i just need a couple of days to see if the slow start is cured.
i bought an after market fan and i could only get one to suit the petrol engine cars, the seller said most people just take the fan and controller and fit it to the old shroud.
the turbo diesels have the intercooler below the radiator and this protrudes in to the space there the fan sits on petrol engine cars.
however my original parts felt brittle so i decided to modify the new shroud to suit my application, and it worked well, i also took the opportunity to blow compressed air through the radiator and intercooler to clear out any debris.
didn't loose a single fastener, although i did manage to break one clip on each side where the bumper wraps around to the wheel opening
oh one other thing, on diesels you have to remove the steel bumper as well otherwise the fan will not come out
so many thanks to those who do write up on these sort of things its much appreciated, i wish i had the patience to take the time and do the same
