i'm in east london (south woodford) and need that special spanner to get the fan off.

the water pump bearing died and i had to get a piggyback all the way from shropshire.

i know its a long shot but if anyone can help (preferably before the weekend) they shall be rewarded accordingly

i have a few bits and bobs i can donate + i'm an actual computer nerd so will help with any IT issues - certainly don't expect such an act of kindness to go unrewarded!!!!!!!

thanks in advance!!!

It's a 36mm A/F for the Disco V8, undo in the direction of fan rotation IIRC, you will need to take the top shroud off and use a mallet to shock the nut to get it loosened, once it has slackened it will spin off.
