Mine has a Kenlow thermostat fitted. It doesn't show degrees
just Cold Normal & Hot with four divisions in between. Mine
has always been set on two divisions above Normal and kicks in
about 15 mins running stationary from cold. From memory
the engine thermostat is 85° so you really wouldn't want to go
more than 90° for the fan thermostat.
Edit
Just checked - according to Rimmers the V8 thermostat for
temperate climates is 82° - so the fan should come in at
87° tops.
