Well been doing a bit to the GQ over the last few weeks /months and here is a bit.

So my viscous fan gave up the ghost while playing in the mud a d Nissan want a second mortgage for one so time to rebuild this one.

Took it off, removed the fan and cracked the casing

So you can see inside that there is a clear silicon oil in there and as I understand it th fan hub needs to be refilled with oil. The right oil!

There is only one place that sells it over the counter and entering the lions den was required!

I bought 2 tubes and filled the fan with 1 tube and have refitted it and will see how it goes

I love my twin Thermo Fans

Next thing you'll be putting in Toyota bumpstops in the rear end ...

You are now cursed Darren!!!!

Do you know what viscosity that fluid is MR? I can get access to Dow Corning fluid at work which I believe is the same thing.
How do the twin thermos go for cooling? I'd like to convert mine to thermos but have heard most people say that the original fan can't be beaten for airflow.

Yeah I looked at going the twin thermos too but was pointed back to the viscous as a far far better option if it could be retained.

I have 80s in the front so I might as well

Actually when I put poly bags in the back of dads 80 I collected his bump,stops and they are in the shed and yes they will probably go in.

The upside of that though is that Every Time I hit the bump stops I am smashing on an 80 series!!! He'll yeah! That works!

I have yet to see any proof from anyone that the original fan can't be beaten for airflow from thermo's

Mine does heat up when sitting in long stop start traffic or a hard hill climb but considering I have one core blocked in my radiator and I don't have a decent shroud around my thermo's either, I'm sure there doing there job.

Unlike originals, thermo's keep cooling the radiator down after you switch the motor off and you can switch them off while going through water crossings as well.

I think there is more positives to thermo's than people are lead to believe
