Esprit Rad Fan - LotusTalk

Lotusrepair · 07-10-2009, 01:52 AM

What fan works for the 87 Esprit? I did find I have one of the three fans with a broken wire at the fan housing. Is there a crossover part to another car?

Thanks,

The 87's fans are marked "FORD".

So maybe you could find one (but I doubt it, it's probably a European application)

Some of the well know Lotus shops will install Spal aftermarket fans as an upgrade. You could either go this route or inquire to them if they have a working used Lotus fan to sell. A Lotus parts breaker such as Sports Car World might have a fan as well.

Have you tried repairing the wire? That would be MY "Plan A".

They are from a Mk 2 Ford Fiesta. I fitted Kenlowe fans to my car, a huge improvement.
