Car Forum / MINI / September 2005radiator-can it be used?
Hi again-well thanks for the help on the last posts ,touch wood car still runnin fine and indicators sorted(it was a dodgy bulb holder!) but i recently "won" a new rad on ebay. It brand spankin new and states on the box that its to suit all minis from 59-96.However, i noticed that on the bottom there is no temp sender which i have on my current radiator. So is it possible to hook up some other device to show water temp using the existing wiring?After all my problems with overheating i NEED some indication!!! cheers! Never seen a rad with a sender at the bottom. I've seen some with a drain there. I would have thought that the bottom of the rad was a lot cooler than the top of the engine so would be an unusual place to fit a temp sender. Have you not got a sender in the cylinder head below the thermostat housing? www.wannop.co.uk > Hi again-well thanks for the help on the last posts ,touch wood car still > runnin fine and indicators sorted(it was a dodgy bulb holder!) but i recently [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > my problems with overheating i NEED some indication!!! > cheers! Hi, just been scanning me haynes manual and it sez , as far as i can gather, it is a thermostatic switch which is supposed to trigger the auxillary fan in the front wing panel.This hasnt run since i got the car but I would like to hook it up is there a way to do this? (nothing too complex tho!!!)So I should be able to use this new rad but i would like to get the aux fan on if any 1 has ideas on this or is it not worth it? ta! >Never seen a rad with a sender at the bottom.

Simply take it to a shop and have a bung matching the sensor welded in before you install the radiator.

Just wire up the fan to a switch on the dash, powered from a fused live feed. > Never seen a rad with a sender at the bottom. I've seen some with a drain > there.

I think the one on the bottom of the rad is for the electric fan on later minis, if that one hasn't got one then you can get a facet aftermarket one that is adjustable and has a probe that slides into the rad pipe before you tighten it up. That is assuming you have a later mini with electric fan!
