Changing this to a higher temp version will give a reduction in the "fan on" time with no detriment to the engine.
Seconded. The standard pilgrim fan switch was/is 82/64 Ie It comes on at 82 degrees and goes off at 64 degrees. MUCH too low Hence why the fans stay on

On the front grill issue, Yes the expanded ally mesh does restrict upto 60% of airflow due to the opposing angles of the mesh! Better in my opinion to fit a 1/4" Weldmesh screen just in front of the rad Handy sized sheets of Weldmesh can be had from Homebase.
