Following advice from other Landy owners I took the viscous fan unit off the TD5 now that the weather is a bit cooler. No differance in engine temp. but it now warms up a lot quicker. Was in traffic for a bit this afternoon as well but the temp. gauge never moved.

After all they are engineered to cross deserts!!

(I'll keep the unit in the back for a bit though, just to be on the safe side)

I bought the proper tools do get the fan off but reckon I could have managed without. A long spanner to reach the nut and a quick swipe with a big hammer would probable have it loose. (anticlockwise by the way)

Crock of S$*T!

Landrovers rarely need there fans on, my 90 will run all day long in low range on a hot summers day and the fan will only come on when climbing long steeeeep hills.

Remember they are designed to run in hot countries and work hard.

Especially in the winter a LR does not typically need a fan.[/quot


PISH, complete and utter why r they made with fans, your saying then that this doods td5 will be fine, "just dont go up any hills mate coz u,r fan will come on, oh hold on YOU WILL not need to worry coz you havent got a fan on, get it out the boot when working take it off when not.

why not just tell um tae get a muff fur the radiator,

u,r fan only comes on when climbing steep hills, "so ur,s is electric.
u,r not running without one "Why not"

doesnt typically need a fan , Whats typically mean,


our landrovers are farm vehicles, our,s work hard, they need fans

maybe u use yours for goin up and down the splash with all your spots on
and chequer plate polished sounds blerrin or some fun gettin dirty at weekend,

and if they rarely need them , surely rarely means they still need them

dont need thems what you have all told this guy, and i hope it doesnt backfire on you
