THIS (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/radiator.htm) page may help as the fans are mentioned towards the end.

Thanks for that i had read that page and it deals with the
12v engine and from pics of 12v it seems they may have
a bit more room to do that,im asking about the 24v cosworth
if i remove the maf and engine cover does that give the room
to change the fans,dont want end up damaging the rad.

Ren, the fans on the 24v are the same as the 12v and come out the same way, as does the radiator.

I thought the fan motors on the Cossie were low profile...well they are but they may also be on the 12V. Anyway, I have had the fans out loads of times in the Cossie (does that sound bad?) I can now do it in about 15 mins, without removing the radiator. 2 bolts secure it...one on each side and an electrical connector. The fan assembly comes out from the top but it's tight.

It is tight,havent managed to do it yet
keep getting caught on the top hose one way
and the oil cooler pipe the other way,
going to wait till the matrix is done,coolant
emptied then remove top hose.
Davem as youve taken the fans out so many
times,there is two plastic clips on top of fan houseing
do these fit over rad to help support weight on
the 2 bolts.
