Default Fan Clutches

I bought a fan clutch with out the blade. My stock blade on my 2003 is the one piece. I found two types of blades. One with the round circle and one without. My question is. Do you think one of these blades will be enough to cool my discovery as they are listed for earlier years and Range Rover P38?

Ive been using the fan with the ring from a P38 on my 2004 for 8000 miles with no problems.

Thanks. Are the Disco a push or pull configuration?

The 03-04 D2 fan has 11 blades on it while the P38 one appears to only have 10. I went with the 1 piece when I replaced mine because I read somewhere that the later style was an improved design and I was afraid to mess with the already sketchy cooling system.

Other than being 1 piece, is the 03-04 different from a D1 fan?

Thanks. I already bought the fan clutch and blade seperate. All I need is to find the mount bolts. Are these standard bolts where I can take the clutch to a hardware store and find the size needed?

I would use fine threaded bolts with nylock nuts or lock washers and some blue threadlocker. Grade 5 is plenty strong for this application.

No nuts...the bolts screw right into the clutch.

Bring the clutch to the store with you. I think the bolts are 10mm

The bolts are 8m X 1.25. I installed it yesterday and i have a slight wobble. Is that a sign of a bad water pump?
