The 1.7 and 0.6 are they volts or MM, and having read your reply to my post re diagnostics think you better bite the bullet and go Gap iid. Now wheres @backinblack @stustrong and @Saint.V8 when you need them my brain not working as it should right now.
The one I've put on is a (probably) britpart. I bought it when i thought i had a fan problem with the old engine. Put the 'original' back on a few weeks back, so it's the cheap alternative that I've just put back on again, it's doing something at least!
What i mean is, if i didn't have torque running to watch the temp, i would never have known it had gone pop
33+vat for a britpart, 85+vat for oem.
But.. do they come from the same factory?
It's dear enough, but not all that bad compared to nobbing about fitting electric

Still have my spare from my E36. It’s opposite direction so constant lock but that’s ideal in a strop scenario, better than nothing.
Honest to god - the boys will tell you - took mine off to try and clean it up/change the oil but it’s a sealed unit. So it only really had a good clean, jiggle about, stood flat etc. Works to this day

That is a LR one though. Not a P38 one either.
I loved my e36

Bleh....crap. My p38 makes me much happier and don’t hurt me spine.
These were voltages I posted in January to compare with someone else's that had issues. These were taken on my block paved drive which has suffered from the weight of a D1, D2 and FFRR so has dips everywhere. Would have mentioned the Foxwell but as the NT510 is out dated I didn't want to confuse things. If @gold rover 's is sat level I would say the sensor or cable is poorly. Mine currently has a bad connection on the front left cable to sensor plug so I have made a temporary clamp to hold it together.

Not sure if voltage goes up or down when car drops, I'll see which way it goes tomorrow when I drop to access height.

Temp went up to 97c as i pulled on my driveway, could spin the fan with my finger and it kept spinning
I have a spare but not sure how good it is.
Time to order a new one i think!
It will spin when warm and lock when hot.
Shouldn't be possible to come off because it is opposite thread to engine movement. Might be possible for rivets to fail.
I'd wait ti there's a problem in case you introduce one.
It will be stiff when cold (roar on startup) then slacken up as it gets warm (and can be stopped) and then lock up when hot. I don't know what temperature it locks up at and I don't know how that temperature compares to the one you see in Torque - mine's an oil burner so Torque doesn't work.
It's normally locked up when the temp hits around 96, but this time it was more free than when'unlocked', no resistance whatsoever. Toast!
