If your radiator was replaced at some point, it might have a bung for a temp sensor at the top on the back of the offside- ie near the drivers side headlight. If it does, an intermotor 50050 temp switch will fit and control the fan to come on at just slightly over horizontal on the gauge.

The reason for the bung is that some 740 (or 940? Not quite sure) cars use the same size radiator and have an temp switch in that position- as far as I’m aware no 240s had electric fans from new, just the fixed fans like yours and then later the fans with a viscous coupling.

I wonder, is this the bung (the white plastic thing)?



The Royal Barge's radiator certainly doesn't look 40 years old, so I suspect it has been changed some time in the past decade.
