cooling

Has anyone managed to find a roof vent fan which is more or less flush from the outside? Ideally no more than 2cm raise, 5cm max. Looking for a powered fan, one at each end probably to create a tunnel effect. Dont want to go over 2m total height for my van, so I can still get in my local...

Hi guys, I have a bit of an issue with my T4. ACV, 1998, manual AC: the radiator fan starts immediately upon starting the engine (only 1 fan) and keeps running until I shut the engine down. The fuses are okay, what could the issue be? All ideas appreciated as I am in Senegal with the car now...
