It's off a 328i. It's the only pictures the guy has sent so far.

Can anyone tell me if I can use a temp sender on this rad to control an electric fan?

Cheers

That's the kiddy to use. It already has a temp sensor sticking out the side, look on the left of the first pic.

Plug & play mate :)

It has a temp. switch, but it's probably one for too high a temp. IIRC, it needs swapping for a 318i E36 one.

OK then i'll tell him that i'll have it.

Btw, what would you guys say was 'fair' for that radiator, price wise?

£40 is about the going rate for a good condition second hand one, its an aircon type so the best you can get with a side tank 8)

That's alright then as he wants £40 for it.

Glad its the best type.

Cheers guys.

Dan - Do you make up the wiring 'loom' for an electric fan conversion? (I'm sure I read that you do)

Yeah I do occasionally, I need to do a couple for other converters soon so if I have enough plugs/cable etc I will knock up another
