Hello,
My car (above) has recently been getting warm in traffic (electric fan doing its job). The main fan spins freely, even when hot. I can easily stop it whilst it ticks over.
After much head scratching, I managed to get it off, and looking at it, it has a very simple bi-metallic clutch operation.
I've tested it with a kettle of boiling water. It didn't change shape.
Before I buy a new one, are these Bi-metallic, or am I being a biff, and they are somehow magnetically operated?
The only replacement I've found is about £120! Are they common parts to fail?
Thank you.
Mark.
