Re: [doc] Fan fix?

[Martin Gutkowski - DMC Ltd <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul, 95% of cars "out there" are running with standard relays and 
(should be) running a decent jumper-wire set. If it's peace of mind 
you're looking for, by all means invest in a fan fix. But they're 
nothing more than a big relay in a box. Keep the connections in the 
relay bases clean, and perhaps replace the fan relay. I tested out the 
current draw in my own car and it came in at 15A startup per fan and 8A 
continuous. This is well within the spec of a standard DIN relay, IMO 
the only issue is how clean the connectors on the relay base are, and 
make sure you have a decent set of jumper wires and an eyelet type 
circuit breaker.

Most of these "fixes" involve a plug-in "solution", although I have 
heard glowing reports on Toby's fans and I'll happily add weight to his 
expertise as a bona fide engineer. His stuff isn't just knocked up to 
fill a gap in the market.
