    not personally used one myself but have seen a few build threads on other forums where they have been used. They work but people have suffered with slightly higher temps for longer than expected and ultimatly swapped them out for better makes which haven't run for as long to bring the temps down.

    the link doesnt seem to work???

    ive had cheap universal fans from ebay on two cars.... had two 10 inch ones in my turbo 2 and moved heaven and earth air wise through my bonnet scoop

    and ive a 12" or there about on my f7 now and does a cracking job......

    BUT the blades are no where near the shape of o.e or spal fans ect so run longer but for 20ish quid for a new fan why the hell not

    ive had a few replies on another site,
    it seems like theyre ok, so im gunna give it a try.
    the car hardly ever gets used and when it does its only in the evenings, never in rush hour and rarely in traffic so should be ok.
