I think twin fans is the standard on all TD4/SD4 FL2s but not the petrol I6

My 2008 si6 LR2 came with the single fan shroud but I also, after getting the idea from @p_gill, replaced my single fan shroud with the Volvo dual fan for the Volvo si6 model equivalent. The Volvo shroud, dual, was cheaper than the LR single...

All TD4s have twin cooling fans according to the manual.

Before replacing the fan module, check the purple wire that runs between it and the ECU under the scuttle panel. This is the signal wire that commands the fan operation. Very common for this to fail inside the insulation.

The I6 has a single or twin fan option, the Td4/SD4 twin only (included as Nodge was disappointed with his pic ) FWIW I use the "Snip & Sketch" function in Win10 on my desktop to grab screenshots and save them as jpg to upload to forums. Win+shift+S Jules |

Gasman is correct Take a look at this link (from Gasman) https://www.freel2.com/forum/topic36668.html Take care Paul |

Thanks everyone. I had not thought of testing the signal wire @p_gill @gasman for continuity. I will do that next, although I think in my case it has to be the module because one fan does still come on (thank goodness because we are hot here) when the temp reaches 97C. Its just that one fan (which I know works) doesn't come on at all and the modulation of the other doesn't work.

"PS I've always been wary of overheating issues with this car (because I tow) and I have installed the transmission cooler also. I never rely on the temp gauge, it is really no more than on overheating light. The coolant needs to be well over 100C before the needle moves from centre. It then goes straight to high and in 30secs shows a warning."

I think the dead zone on the gauge is to stop people worrying too much about temp fluctuations - but then it can give them a false sense of security. I would prefer a more realistic gauge but I dont have the means to change the programming.

According the JLR manual - the thermostat on the TD4c starts to open at 85C and is fully open at 91C. So 97C for the fans seems about right to me. You wouldn't want them on till the radiator's cooling ability had been used up.
