I think you should get a ceiling fan and a cowl hood, itll fit right under there, and you shouldnt have any problems after that

Install that ish and let us know whats good with the overheating. Hopefully that fixes it. Other wise you might be in for a headache.

You might just want to check that the fan can also rotate freely...... that's why i had my overheat problem..... . yours probably won't be that but it is worth checking

and btw its nice to see another chick on here..... and surprisingly you haven't gotten scared away yet! lol

Make sure that you are actually having an overheat problem and that the problem is not the gauge sending unit.

Pick up some antifreeze also, cause you need to drain some of it or else you will take a nice bath when you're under there changing it.

Nah....I just did mine. Keep the new sensor handy and when you pull the old one plug the hole with your thumb for a few seconds while you grab the new sensor. I lost less than a quart of coolant doing mine.

Sorry to break the news to you, but your Fan Ninja died. I'll sell you a dual setup like the pic really cheap(see below).

2 fans, 2 ninjas...when ninja sweat, ninja use fan, fan cool motor, round eye no overheat no mo! PROBLEM SOLVED GRASSHOPPA.

Ok.. Take a deep breath in (do it its important). Now pucker your lips and blow out as hard as you can. One more time. Ok, good you are hired. I need a fan that does it's job and I think you will fit it pretty well! Don't worry I already called Land Rover and quit for you.. hehe Welcome to my engine bay! I expect you in there first thing tomorrow morning, Hector, don't let me down!
