Great idea, Daim. I control my (replacement) electric main fan using the OEM 85° water pump temp switch and the Grant Francis rewire system. I have recently found it cycles on and off too much in stop/go traffic.
I replaced the temp switch with an "On at 92° Off at 87°" switch from a Fiat. Works a treat and gives enough hysteresis to stop the cycling. But right now the scarce budget is being soaked up buying parts for my tractor engine rebuild. After 55 years the old Massey Ferguson 23c diesel deserves it!

Just finished up working on getting the 6.0 out of a 94 sedan to transplant into my 89 convertible. I got to the full flow oil hoses, and just oh so hate to cut those babies, but looks like my best bet. That, or disassemble the chin spoiler, etc, so I can get to the ends of the hoses where they connect to the oil cooler.....

An XJS grows once covered, definitely not a slimming action..
