Must have happened when I removed it as I remember it fell off as I wasn't holding it properly. I can't screw the fan back on as the start of the thread has sheered off. I know it is reverse thread too.
Any suggestions on fixing the thread?

Got it on. Phew!
Used the edge of a fine chisel to dig out the thread.
Was getting worried.

I went to a recommended independent in Osborne Park once and he tried undoing this nut on my then 300Tdi using a hammer and chisel...... the wrong way. He didn't even know it a left handed thread.
He told me not to tell him how to do his job......as "those nuts can be tight"!
I got him to buy a replacement as I wasn't having anything under my bonnet looking like that with deep chisel marks in it. Fitted it myself just to be sure.

SupporterA Landrover isn't the average run of the mill car So you shouldn't take it to the average run of the mill mechanic using only experienced Landrover mechanics to do the work on your truck is by far the safest option.Originally Posted by ATH
