Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) Two questions regarding 98 +8

Hi everyone,

I have two things I wonder a bit about on my car. it is a -98 +8 (4,6L engine). I wolud like to have your thinking on these matters.

1:
The cooling fan of the car in temperature controlled. Under a certain temperature the fan stops. No problem there. But it would be nice to be able to turn it on manually. Sometimes it feels like it turns on a bit late. The picture here below shows a bit of the car.
The temperature sensor is located in the radiator, left side of picture. Behind the Photobucket watermark. I guess that the fan starts when there is contact between the two cables. I am thinking about a way to have a manual control also. Any suggestions on the easiest way to accomplish this?


2:
The battery is located rear of the seats, next to the rear axle. How do you get it out? Do you have to do that from below?


Best Regards
