Ahhh bummer mate

[MudRunnerTD]

Got a letter from nissan saying my patrol has been recalled. something about a passenger airbag. oh how delightful only took them 11 years to realise.

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.

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
