To keep the engine cooler as it's running abit hot ATM,

Either I replace the thermostat, or I need a larger ally dual core rad with 2 slimline fans =p

well ideally you need to find out why its running hot mate, bigger fans etc won't cure the original issue, it shouldn't be overheating. when you say its running hot how hot do you mean?

thats why iasked..low temp thermostat will just mask the issue..

either itd running weak thus hot ( check the plugs) so needs mixture sorting
or the original radiator is fubard as they cope just fine when in good condition are are alloy cored as standard..

fans only there to draw air when stationary so if its hot will moving you have others issues that need fixing first..

low temps are only useful on highly tuned engines really or track cars etc..
