Thanks for your confirmation, I thought I was going mad for a minute but the specs confirm my thoughts. However, I'm particularly interested in the 3800 cut out protection. I haven't actually took her above 4000 or so with my head in the bonnet and therefore this is definitely a test I need to perform. How the clutch achieves this I'm not sure!
[Edit] - I see a spring - very neat. That's how it works. Thanks for the piccy much appreciated.

damn, still doesn't answer my question; or does it?
I'm just going to have to get testing!!

110C as read on the IC's engine temperature gauge
|
Uhm - I've had a change of thought! I originally surmised that the cooling system temperature must lag the air temp. but of course this cannot be true as the stimulus of the air temp is
caused by the water temp. itself! However, there maybe a delay in gauge readings as I'm not sure if these are traditional or electronic - even so the display is obviously averaged.
So assuming a lag, the temp. could be even higher than 110C
110C is rather close (assuming 10C between water and air, 92C would yield say 100C; a much more sensible choice) and just doesn't seem right to me, especially as mine cuts in at around 85C on the IC - maybe I have a different strip or maybe a very lazy IC gauge??? And another thing - my electric fan cuts in at IC 110C. Why design a system that has two fans operating at the same point??!??
I'm almost temped to remove the strip again and carry out some further testing. Or I could place a thermocouple in line with the air and measure the air temperature accurately - if I do I'll make a further post for info.
