Eh, then what are they doing advertising in the Caravan Club magazine, practical caracvan etc etc.

Must admit though, when I rang them for advice their guy talked me out of spending money too :? but that was to make sure I needed one before I bought it. turned out it could have been the timing was out in my case.

But surely a thermostatically controlled fan is going to work better than the viscous unit, especially when the later gets a bit tired.

Yep, been there! :D

I had a very hot running petrol G-wagen, took it to a well known G-wagen 'specialist' . shelled out for new rad and waterpump. still overheated, changed the viscous fan, still overheated: he diagnosed faulty headgasket :(

I had had enough by then, took it away and fitted wo leccy fans as a backup, still no good.

Gave up and booked it into local backstreet garage with instructions to change headgasket.
They rang back within a couple of hours to say it was ready and all they had done was set the timing correctly
Saved me lots of money :wink:

hasn't overheated since, just wish I had gone there straight away.....
