As the title says my viscous fan fell off after I got the car back from the mechanics today. It's now a bit chewed up by the harmonic balancer grinding in it. Cursory look over suggests the rad is ok but need to look better in daytime. Unfortunately happened after hours and the mechanic was closed. I assume they need to replace the fan as it is due to them not putting it on properly. Are they also responsible for checking the rad

It all depends on the type of work done.
It's got nothing to do with brakes but if they did a timing belt then it does.
We need a little more information please.

Happened to me a long time ago with a 300tdi defender. Luckily found it after the test drive so replaced the blades and all was well. If you don't give the hub just that little tap around after feeding it onto the thread then it is asking for it.

They took the engine out to replace a crank and harmonic balancer. So they had removed it.
