Thanks insite for the reply.

Any ideas on what the part no is for the thermostat and where the thermostat is ? I re-looked at the pet catalog diagram and can't find a thermostat anywhere around the radiator. The thermostat should be measuring the temp of the coolant in the radiator (like normal cars) ??

If I have a radiator fan that seems to be on more often than the other side, does it mean that radiator is less efficient in cooling or hence fan is on, or the thermostat on the other side is not working well ??? Or water flow is less on one water pipe.... hmmm

In fact I've never had the left side fan come on without the right side fan being on (but the reverse happens).

Nothing is simple on a P car isn't it ??
