Range Rover Blues:
As they get older they don't work as well, but when it's been stood the viscous fans locks up. When you start it from cold a vlave opens and allows the oil inside to be thrown outwards, dissengaging the drive but the fan will still rev up to about 2,000 RPM. It will nto stand still.
When the fan heats up too much the valve closes again and the fan locks up fully, at this point you should hear the fan blades whooshing.
Try to spin it when stationary, if it moves then it's working to some extent.
treeman:
well it has only done about 2000 mile in the last year an it was stood in my garage for 3-4 months so that would explain it , it was confusing me :lol: thanks
