Hi all,
we encountered a slight problem a couple of weeks back. Fitted a new radiator fan set to our Patrol and the vehicle got hot while towing,( but didn't sustain any damage luckily) it has never run hot in the 3 yrs we have owned it. The fan blades were quite smaller in length on the new one, and I'm gathering this was the cause.
Bought it from a mob in SA, who have not bothered to reply to my email, warning them , so the same thing didn't happen to another customer. Just wondering if the fan they sold me is off a 3 litre patrol? Measurements are in the pic.
I've now fitted the correct fan and all is well.

The correct length of the blades is 130mm.

bought an after market fan for the old 4.2 oiler patrol, way back. After less than 10,000ks one blade broke off and every other blade had major cracks leading to the same out come. Any thing to do with patrols cooling will now be original, and has since worked a treat, this includes thermostats, as nissan bought out a lower degree thermo to help with the 4.2s hot working range, not to be confused with over heating.
