As a warning i bought a universal Revotec kit (polo style) for mine as i thought, sweet it comes with some nice little ali brackets to mount it up on in the kit, but it turns out that their 'polo style' rad is smaller than the genuine ones so the brakets on one side didnt reach. Not to much of a problem as i cut and welded in place a length of ali to make it correct but hassel none the less. As for the fan, it looks fine and im sure it will do the job but someone like Pacet or Kenlowe are probably of better quality to be honest...

whats wrong with the standard fan?  Never had any trouble with mine with 194bhp, water cooled turbo & track days which is just about all the punishment you can give a cooling system.  In fact the fan does nothing when driving anyway, should only really be coming on when stood in traffic.

When you put it that way! Its just that mine has packed up so I thought I would upgrade but as you said there is no need to upgrade. Before it did pack up it was running fine untill it sat in traffic and then the temp went through the roof!!

well fair enough if you need to replace the fan anyway, I'd probably do the same.  I think people tend to use 10" ones.
