Removed the oil cooler from the front of engine, used proper oil pipe to bypass  I just took away the original oil-cooler by-pass valve, and put plugs to oil cooler fittings. Small spring was also removed, forgot that when took this photo...  As repair manual said, the by-pass is non-removeable, that isn't true. In real world it is removeable quite easy...

Re: Electric fan debate Maybe my description was confusing. The bypass valve was left in the block. By "Bypass" I meant.... an oil pipe in place of the oil filter connecting to the input to the output. See picture the pipe unions are just visible behind the fan.

Re: Electric fan debate Yes, it can be seen there.
I had once some solution in my "slightly tuned" Visa, with GS gearbox and Visa bellhouse, no oil temp problems even when driven 160 km/h and over...

Re: Electric fan debate My views on engine driven fans are the faster its running the more air and ultimately cooling you get

Re: Electric fan debate At the risk of going off on a tangent, some blokes up the road have just posted this youtube video for A$10/GBP5 DIY water-cooling of an intercooler on a turbo'd mx5 that might be adapted for the 2cv oil cooler. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmzLaaF ... q9Ga8W2J3A
