    Viscous Fan help please

    Totally,If I was going abroad or doing some heavy overlanding I would fit the viscous back on in a heartbeat. I do think there might be more going on to Stu's than just needing an upgrade or new fan,but if it went back to normal it might just be the fan not locking properly.

    Viscous Fan help please

    I fitted a 14" electric fan on my 300,It was one of the cheap ebay ones.I was going to get an X-Eng thermostat for it,but to be honest I haven't used the fan yet. Sound likes there's more going on than just a dodgy viscous fan.

    Paintwork - Black or Green grille?

    I think I would go green on the light plastics and black grill. Its going to be a marmite moment for everyone. Which one do you like the most?

    Yep,exactly that. I made my own and to be fair I don't think it turn out bad for the price.

    A frame balljoint nut removal

    Silly question,but have you taken the split pin out? Mine was crudded up so much I couldn't get it out,so I had to hammer the socket on and use a breaker bar to snap it out.I think I used an imperial socket to get it out.The new one went on with an normal 30mm spanner and I've got a tank guard...

    Any Pay'n'Play Sites in Devon/Dorset/Somerset?

    Got point on the lanes, I wonder if its been quite so everyone didn't turn up a once on day 1. I can't wait to go have a play when I get a free weekend,memories are flooding back of that place.

    Any Pay'n'Play Sites in Devon/Dorset/Somerset?

    Wonder if they've kept it quite for a reason?

    i need abit of advice

    As said rust,boot floor,rear arches,front inner arches,door sills,to name a few. Make sure you get a drive or be driven in it. Check transfer box works ok,not the end of the world if its stiff. Give the wheels a wobble and rock the whole thing and listen for any untoward noises. Don't be afraid...

    Slow coolant loss

    I had a similar problem,mine turned out to be a hair line crack in the expansion tank. You could only see it when it was up to normal running temp and under pressure. Glad i found it early,wouldn't of wanted it popping on me. As said now you know you have a problem,get it done now before it...

    No worries,had to link it as I know I'd be annoyed if it was mine. There not even the same arches being sold so a proper cheeky git seller:)
