glad u like mate, those 3.0s are still pretty nippy by todays standards. The viscous fan couplings make a funny sweaking / sqwarking noise when they get warm normally as you change gear when the revs drop quickly (can often be mis-diagnosed as a dodgy box) if the bearings are dead, give it a wobble and you will soon see if it is dead. best thing is to get a kenlow on there mate as i dont think you can fix the couplings

 

Thanks for that!

 

So, am i right in saying that it's just going to keep making that noise or will the bearing cease and lock the fan? Ie, it spins as fast as the engine.

 

Mine disintegrated at 80mph ! tore the radiator up and jammed on the lower

pulley !

 

Change it mate ...

tasty, professionals stylieeee

essexs are great! i love um

mine can pull itself alone in 4th at idle

 

throw the fan away, it takes 30mins for them to warm up fully anyhoo
