    There is always the Ford fan clutch, could get you out of trouble if you can find a good working one cheap. Even new they are sometimes available under $100. The 6 cylinder EA-ED one runs clockwise (LH thread) and the V8 runs anti-clockwise (RH thread) so one will fit your version of Landie I'm sure.

    I just ordered one from Brookwells, was half the cost of what is available here, just waiting for it to arrive.

    In the meantime I dont do long trips, keep the revs down and check water levels every day.

    I got 80ks down the freeway then it boiled last weekend.

    Last week I had 2.1t of steel scrap on the car trailer. All up weight was 5.2t. It was a 30 in the shade and as humid as hell. Temp gauge never moved. New viscous fan worked well.

    If you were driving at freeway speeds ie over about 60KMh , you do not only have a viscous fan problem, you have a blocked radiator or blown headgasket problem.

    I usually just rope them to the drive pully. ITs quick and easy..

    Although After Ive locked up a VC I put a caveat of not to exceed about 2500RPM on the donk.

    The radiators next, I need to do the rocker cover gaskets so that would be a good time to do the head gaskets as well.

    Its my daily so things will be done bit by bit as time and cash allow.
