I am replacing the radiator fan assembly on my 2011 LR2 (base model) hence i will need to remove my intake manifold aside from the intake manifold to head gaskets is there any other gaskets that i will need to replace when doing this job?

 

You don't need to remove the intake manifold, you can get access from the front, remove the radiator and R&R the fan, which is attached to the radiator. If you are going to remove the intake manifold you will only have to change the manifold gaskets.

 

I did do this and replaced my fan and shroud with a Volvo dual fan setup. Removal of the intake manifold was necessary and easier for me and I also had the use of a friend's hoist. My hands are also 'mitts' so there is that....... I don't think I could have pulled it off with the intake in place but patience is not a great virtue of mine. Also, a second pair of hands couldn't hurt.

Here is the volvo dual fan part #31686808
EDIT: My LR2 is an i6 2008 year class.

 

@ThorInc , cool. Does the dual (and smaller fan blade) solution move more air?

 

I am going to have to say 'yes'. it does cool more efficiently and keeps the coolant temp closer to 90C very consistently through various conditions. This is also my first winter using the dual, so I have not seen sub -25C weather yet.
My gut tells me I may have to increase the cabin temp control by a degree or two, I will likely find out soon enough! Technically, it should not matter.

EDIT: I did get this initially idea from @p_gill BTW.

 

I have a slightly different preferred solution. I just need to find someone with the airplane and the Defender. Got the grill covered.

 

I've been shopping for a centurian or bonanza, it's tough out there.

 

I have an Italian glider for sale. Much cheaper to operate and maintain, and it can fly forever as long as it can find hot air. Just fly it over any politicians.

 

Need a family SUV. 210 is that, better ergonomics. Bannana has similar performance & capacity but poor ergonomics IMO and better curb appeal. Don't care about curb appeal, but there's just not many 210's out there.

 

There are two early 210's here.

But frankly. if you want an SUV, you want a 206, not a 210.
