Does anyone have a spare fan drive viscous coupling for a '96 V8i Disco?
Mine seized up on the motorway and I think me fuel consumption dropped to about 9mpg :o))
Anyway, took it off and went into local LR dealer who said I had wrong one fitted - Mine has 11 blade fan, but chassis prefix is 'TA' which means apparently that it should be a 7 blade fan.
If anyone has a spare for sale, or can put me in touch with a good second hand dealer, I would really appreciate it.

Really?
My 87 V8 RR has a solid one fitted? Should they be able to spin on thier own rather than in time with the belt?
I have a couple in the shed that I've taken off 3.9 EFi vehicles. You're welcome to have one if you can arrange collection.
I'm in North Yorkshire, near Harrogate.
cheers

On or around Mon, 23 Aug 2004 21:31:42 GMT, "mark solesbury" enlightened us thusly:
early RR had a solid fan, later ones have viscous hubs. if the viscous is working right, you should be able to hear the fan spin down after a minute or so from a cold start - at about 2500 revs the fan makes a lot of noise, and when it slows down, you hear it winding down, or you do on my disco, anyway.
Dave, tried to contact you off-group without success,
Would you be willing to post item in exchange for suitable quantity of beer tokens?
cheers
