I drove to northern Scotland and back this weekend, 800 mile round trip, aprrox 150 mile into the journey, a vibration started linked to acceleration, the more i pushed the pedal the worse it got, to the point that i could'nt see out of rear view mirror.
I accelerated through it upto around 70ish and it was ok for a while, then followed me up to that speed, i slowed and it was still there, worse at 60ish.
When i dip the clutch it disappears, and when i knock it into neutral it disappears, also not there from cold, but a few minutes into journey it returns,
strange thing is it went all together approx 40 miles from home,
I know i need to change the bearing in the viscous fan but would that cause these symptoms or is there something else going on,
