Which Defenders use this alternator fan?
This alternator fan is listed for the Defender from 1987 to 2006 on models without air conditioning, covering the 2.5 naturally aspirated diesel, 2.5 turbo diesel, 2.5 petrol and 3.5 V8 petrol engines.
Why does this fan specify without air conditioning?
This alternator fan is for Defenders built without air conditioning. AC-equipped vehicles typically run a different alternator and pulley arrangement, so the cooling fan differs. Confirm your charging setup before ordering if your Defender has factory air conditioning.
