Hi all,
Can anyone confirm if FACET is the OEM brand for the cooling fan of a diesel P38?
Thanks in advance

It seems that the OEM brand is Borg Warner.
A Land Rover original fan has a "bwcs" marking on the blades and here, someone posted "If there bwcs is a borg warner".
Oh no, I want one of these: http://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php?xProd=449474¤cy=4Genuine fans do indeed have BWCS markings embossed on the fan blades along with LANDROVER. But if you want one of those it will cost you a lot of money. See this. http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-PGG101290

'Morning,
My fan did the same. It is apparently something that can happen to the waxy oily stuff (that is viscous). Goes a bit thick with age (much like myself...) I had also had a problem with the air con condenser so took the opportunity to have a sort out in that area. All surprisingly easy, apart from initially getting the fan nut loosened. I took the fan assembly and cowl off completely, took the condenser out and refitted the air con fans for cooling if needed. (I just disconnected them, took the relays out and put a switched wire to them so I could turn them on if it got too hot.)
Ran around for a few days and the temperature on the guage was the same as ever, around midway. I sorted the condenser and have put it back in, remounting the fans on it. Even with the air con condenser in front the temp is still fine. Been doing all the usual motoring around, high speed longish runs, around the houses and even across the fields with a trailer on - and the temperature has hardly moved. Conclusion is - I don't need a fan. The only proviso is that I haven't had to sit in traffic for any length of time, not sure if that would be a good idea...
Yeah, like I said that was my only reservation. Datatek reckons the air con fans on a thermostat control is a good mod. I have still got it wired so I can switch them on if the guage goes up - just haven't had to try it yet!
How so Wammers? Mine is 2001. you mean this mod is already in place?On pre MY 1999 diesels maybe used as a backup to the viscous. But 1999 and on diesels have this facility built in.
