just a point about viscous fans, and the heat sensitive coil that makes it work (I think) ?
looked at mine when I done a cambelt change and some of its oil/lubricant had seeped out making the front facing coils a trap for dirt,
so gave it a good clean out with parrafin and brush.
not 100% but it now seems the coil has more room to "coil" and let the viscous coupling work when hot.....
only got a bit hot the other week on a warm day at 70mph on the A12....
till I remembered the more than half covered rad blind was still fitted.
a quick stop, and my "rad blind" (lump of plastic sheet) removed and it was just fine again..
