That's only applicable to electric fans.
The mechanical will always blow, no matter which way round you install it, but it does have a engine side and a radiator side.
My fan is installed correctly, new radiator, new thermostat housing and thermostat, new hoses, new fan belt.

que?
so you saying it blows air out both sides of the fan? :wtf:
the airflow is supposed to be:
1. in at the grill
2. over the engine
3. through the fan
4. out the side

yes ... look at the mechanical fan, it always blows, no matter which way you install it, the fins are the same directon either way.

^This^ is the common misconception. And a LOT of people get this wrong (including "mini specialists").
But if you're sure yours is installed correctly - no worries.

The blades are still in the same direction, but the spacing from the radiator will be different.

Anybody have any leads on any decent minis in JHB selling for under R25K? Not projects requiring work tho. Must be something that's licenced and ready to roll... PM's appreciated.

BE WARNED: TOMMY HANKEY IS A THIEF, SCAM MECHANIC AND SUBMITS FRAUDULENT INSURANCE CL
BE WARNED: TOMMY HANKEY IS A THIEF, SCAM MECHANIC AND SUBMITS FRAUDULENT INSURANCE CLAIMS
I am writing this to warn all unsuspecting consumers of the Mini Workshop /Tommy Hankey of High road Kempton Park- to avoid this thief at all costs. He swaps perfectly working parts from your vehicle to sell off as spares and badly damages the areas while doing this. There has been numerous complaints on FB (he just creates new pages to run away from his already damaged reputation) about this fraudulent “mini specialist” who IS NOT a certified mechanic and in addition to this unscrupulous activity he submits fraudulent warranty insurance claims via “a ANOTHER company which is RMI registered” On his fake business website he offers various services which includes in house sale of spares. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CAR WITH HIM. He openly discusses swapping of parts using OTHER customers (without their knowledge) cars to see if he can check for problems doesn’t even have proper tools but calls himself a specialist. Will also take your car to OTHER mechanics for “evaluation” without your knowledge or permission and by the end of it you will have various broken parts fitted into your car as well as other bad mechanics playing around and probably helping themselves. When confronted this grown man runs and hides away as only a guilty thieving coward would do. He and the workshop are DIRTY as hell the workshop in littered with rotting garbage fruit peels etc. Leaves filthy greasy hand prints and smells all over the car interior which can only be removed by professional valet service most disgusting yet a major RAT INFESTATION at the workshop which are living off the garbage strewn across the inside and outside the workshop and living in the empty shells of old mini’s which he sells off to unsuspecting mini enthusiasts – your car wiring will be eaten by the rats too. Neither he nor his workers are aware of the law and even dumb enough to express their ignorance when confronted! Most mechanic circles are well aware of this fraudster as they have had to fix and report evidence on their client’s behalf’s!

Welcome Jason47. Not affiliated to the workshop. But have used them extensively and never had such issues... But thank you for the heads-up. Care to elaborate on the criminal case?
