'93 doesn't have a fan clutch. Pre '93 does, it bolts onto the front of the water pump and the engine-driven fan blade attaches to it. On '93 and later, the engine-driven fan was deleted, and twin electric cooling fans were fitted. What you just found was one of the fans unplugged, which is enough to make the car run too hot in warm weather, particularly at idle.

It may have been intentionally disconnected: these fans do get noisey, or it may be siezed up and blowing a fuse. Run the engine up to temp and make sure they both kick on and sound OK.

Jaguar sells them as the complete unit--big bucks! We sell the individual fan units. Save you a bunch of money if one is down.

I haven't seen any electrical water pumps for these. In fact, I think it's the first time I've been asked. Having a specific promblem or just looking to cut drag on the engine?
