    What was the recall for? Have you got a VIN number range for the recall mate as I may not get a letter but have a younger GU than yours.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Seeing the temp gauge over half way.

    Have only been driving it to the station and back about 12 km return per day the last 2 months. Had to go a bit further today and while stopped at the lights the temp kept raising up to about 3/4. Once started driving quickly went back to its normal spot just under half. There was a cool breeze today.

    Once home had a good look around and noticed the fan has cracks around it. I have ordered a new one, but not 100% sure that this will fix the problem, could be that the clutch is not completely engaging? If that doesn't fix it I will check rad cap, then thermostat.

    After that I think it will need a bit more digging around. Hopefully not......

    I'd just do the viscous coupling at the same time mate. Unless the fan is spinning on the coupling then the cracks won't make a huge difference. They weren't too expensive from patrolapart when I got mine...

    Coupling feels OK, firm. I'll rather not change things if I don't need to.

    Did my boiling water test with the thermostat and once it was fully opened, I dropped it into cold water and after more than 2 minutes it was still about 2mm open.

    Looks like a new thermostat should fix it.

    after you do that mate see if you can do a 100k run to somewhere
    and home to clean out the gunk building up in the motor that will help also
