V8 Viscous Fan

(1/5) > >>

SteveGoodz:
The viscous fan on my 3.9 Discovery has given up the ghost .. it freewheels even when the water temp is almost into the red!

I'm looking to replace it but that won't be until the weekend and I need to use the car in the meantime.

I thought I recalled a post on here where someone described how to lock the hub and blade units together so that the fan runs all the time. Damned if I can find it though ... does anyone know how to do this?

TIA

Just got it off, after a few loud words and some big hammers
