Hi guys

i need to remove the cooling fan from my 03 plate disco 2 td5 to replace the top and bottom radiator hoses and need to get to the hose clips ( gen clips ) can anyone tell the size so i can go and buy a spanner please, i thought my d1 tdi spanner would have fit but the size is bigger on the d2.

Not sure abot D2 but on the D1 (and other viscous fan cars) you need a slim, cranked spanner, as a normal, straight open ender won't go on properly. So if your buying one specially, check it if needs to be a cranked one. The likes of Sykes Pickavant and Sealey make a tool specially for the job, they are not dear either.

unfortunatly we don't have these shops in Belgium :-(
Some of the parts are much harder to get :-(
(for example ATF is only available in 1L bottles at 8,50€ (+/-7,50£ a piece)

Does have a "schema" with lengths of this wrench?
I could make one up myself.

Thanks, Koen
