Hi people, im having a bad time again and could do with some advice, ive had my p38 for 3 weeks or so now and had other probs with it but got um sorted, (check my other threads) basicaly mine never has over heated... until i towed a trailer down the motoway, it weighed 1.2ton, now it gets a tad boring now so bear with me please, last week i noticed i had a blade missing on my fan and it didnt "howl" at all (could hardly hear it) sooo i got 1 off ebay... 3 month old... the chap couldnt stop his over heating so he got the fan,rad etc etc, basicaly no matter wot it still got hot, so i ended up buying the fan, (genuine LR stamp on it) i fitted it with a new belt, when i fired her up it howled like ive never heard but took ages to go off (over 10 mins in the morning) so im on the motoway thinkin all is going to be good when the temp creeps up, if i kept her under 2,600 rpm it was ok, anything over and she started to get hot, i checked the old fan and it has a BMW clutch on it and fan blades (ali center) yet the new 1 has LR stamped on blades and a huge center clutch... WHAT should it have??? the smaller bmw or the larger LR?? im confused, il try to add pics to show the differance, i could of possibly got a 300tdi fan by mistake or its just faulty... HELp pleaseeee
