1: The fan now sounds like it is pushing the air around the engine at 100mph really loud wooshing noise, should the fan constantly be running even from cold only had it 3 weeks but it has never been this loud.

2: was driving on a duel carriage way doing 60 mph slightly accelerate to climb the hill and it judders revs flutter with it but if i am climbing a hill and its in lower gears it does not do it ( its auto by the way)

Viscous fan knackered. Change it. Fuel pump, either fuse blown or duff sounds like fuel starvation.

I agree with Wammers, in tank pump. Splash out and fill the tank, if the problem goes away that will prove it's the pump.
The viscous fan normally makes a lot of noise from cold but it should ease off after a minute or so.

ok cool what fuse is the fuel pump i dont have a book with list of fuses, and no the fan sounds like a wirl wind from the minute i start driving to the moment i stop. earlier i was driving it stopped for about 15 secs then carried on making the noise for about a hour after.

I don't think they will....IIRC Someone asked a similar Q a short while back, and I think the answer was no....

The Wammer and Datatek are much more clued up on the Diesels then I (But I am learning)

nope they are different they will physically screw on if you like but the blades are totally different having put a bmw car engine in my old rangie i can speak from exp.
do not fit a britpart viscous have tried 2 before both failed within 30 secs of starting engine.
island 4x4 do oem one at a good price and even turns up stamped landrover on the blades!
