Bought mine from Paddocks a couple of years ago. Works fine.

Thanks for that, have already ordered from Flatdog on Neilly's advice but will bear in mind Paddocks should there be any problem

36mm a/f open ended spanner and a copper mallet to shock the nut undone as mentioned above.

A decent spanner is better that one of those laser-cut things.

It undoes in the direction of the fan rotation.

Got mine from Halfrauds-one of those 36mm x32mm off set spanner things

Bought one from eBay bit like this one

By the way it's a standard right hand thread, seems to be some confusion about this.

Hi All Really appreciate all of the very helpful advice. Am keeping all of the sourcing details just in case Will let you know how we get on with the Flatdog tools recommended by Neilly

Think the confusion occurrs as the D1 is left hand and D2 is right hand

Why pay more?
This one worked fine for me!

I use a old style pushbike head set spanner. about 5 quid.
last time I needed it off though I use a hammer and a bar and taped it on the corner of the flat and got it off.

Quick update. The spanner and backing spanner set arrived very quickly from Flatdog as recommended by Neilly. Husband has now replaced the thermostat and the sensor and the connecting pieces of tubing which connect the thermostat back into the cooling system. Sorry if that's not a very technical description Thanks again everyone
