Default VISCOUS FAN CLUTCH

Anyone out there found a good source for one? I found one at Atlantic British for $150, anything cheaper?

I replaced the T-stat and nothing. I still have the same problem. The fan holds on all the way up to 4K RPM, and it was holding at startup last winter. I need to replace it, but want to get the best deal.

Thanks!

Jason

Don't go cheap un the clutch, cheap one's never last and the last thing you want is to watch it fly thru your radiator.

good point. I think i'll just get the pump too. When I shut it off, I get a whine like a rubber seal on a metal shaft. I am sure it's the pump, and with the fan tugging that bad, I am not going to chance it.

$250.....there go my shocks. [:-]

Working full time and taking 15 hours in school is tough when working on a Rover. I wish the economy would stimulate me once in a while....

The worst part is that I have a chance to buy a black 95 XJR for $4500. Always wanted one of those too....

yikes. I remember having to take an electrical engineering class in collegeyears back and barely got a D! I chose civil engineering instead. That electrical stuff I just don't get!! So soon you'll be doing all the electrical diagnosing on the forum eh?

he he, yeah.

Ihave been working as an EET for the past 7 years on automated fuel systems. Figured I would get paid for what I do. I knew it was for me when I diagnosed an a/c problem down to a single transistor controlling my blower motor in a Chrysler I had. Circuits and how they work are in my brain.

My soon to be wife has a good job, so I am going to ease off at work so I can focus on school more.......if the Rover lets me.

My first Physics teacher was a retired civil engineer. He would always talk about storm water planning and the rise and run of parking lot entrances. I think I was the only one that was interested in his stories. Then again, I was the only one that got an A......

Ya that's mostly what I deal with, do a lot of drainage reports. You'd never think it but hydrology/hydraulics is a pretty damn tough subject.
