Hi Peps
As above, has anyone replaced it??
Looking at replacing mine with a brand new one as my car is slightly over heating on idle.
What is the best replacement part? Brand etc.?
cheers

I replaced mine mate. Not sure off the brand, just what repco gave me.
Check your thermostat aswell. You can either cut it or put a high flow one in.
For a quick fix if youre over heating you can turn the clutch fan into a solid fan with the help of some heavy gauge 75mm roofing screws. Itll sound like a tornado but wont get above the third bar on the heat gauge haha

GK tech make a replacement fan, 40% more airflow.
i run one on mine and you can feel the extra air even on idle.

It says for RB you need an adapter. i bought the adapter and i didnt need to use it. im unsure what hub i have but im 80% sure its an RB30 one.
