2000 Td5 viscous fan
« on: August 27, 2006, 12:32:38 PM »
At 73000km my viscous fan  is kaput.

List price is around $530!
Any suggestions for a supplier for a good price replacement?

I know I can just disable the function and turn it into a fixed fan drive setup but for now just looking for the best place to buy a replacment.

Cheers

Picko,
All i can suggest is trying a wreckers, Depending on where u are, u could try Triumph Rovers spares in Adelaide, they ship next day to anywhere in the country, great bunch of guys.
(p.s. i have no affiliation with this company either)

Sounds like a good deal!

Thanks for sharing the info.

I bought a viscous coupling for my V8 from Land Rover Spares in Qld 07 4957 5854 but I can't remember how much I paid for it, although it was definitely cheaper than via my friendly Land Rover authorised dealer spares centre.
