Take it off and do the aircon fans mod for cooling
i,ve been meaning to ask you about this mod you do. is it safe for the V8 as well?

Only suitable as a back up to the viscous on the V8 IMO, or you could do the mod and add a Kenlowe type fan although I wouldn't recommend Kenlowe, they seem to fail quite often.
Makes sense. I'm sure Land Rover would't have spent money on a viscous fan if they didn't need to.
Surprisingly, they would. Old habits die hard. Electric would always have been better, full power cooling at low revs, less water/mud splatter in the engine bay when off road, quicker warm up, quieter and very slight improvement in economy not to mention better acess to the front of the engine etc
Hi Datatek. Am tempted to put a kenlow on for all the reasons you give. Have used them on old Triumph cars and they made quite a difference on smaller engines. Always found them reliable, but as you say the P38 has got a back up with the aircon fans.
P.S. Did you manage to loosen that viscous nut from your rangey?
