Looking forward to trying to fit this tomorrow. I’ve gone from no fan to my own custom switch.

Sorry for reviving an old thread, but does itchys way alow the fan to work as normal, ie- as if no switch is fitted,

Thanks

Yes. I followed his instruction and fan works automatically on first and second stage, too.

Check which type of fuses the van uses in the glovebox. If old style torpedo, then unlikely it is the same process. Itchyfeet's article only covers late (post1985/6) vans.
