Thanks. I am changing the alternator on my p38 and I was wondering how the fan belt tightened. But thanks to your video I now know how. (hopefully!) I will try it after lunch.
Quick question: My P38 is parked at a very slight decline (maybe three degrees), will this have any effect on filling/bleeding the coolant since the radiator will be slightly lower than it normally is (in relation to the fill tank)?
This video is awesome!!!Thank you so much,your video saved me $500 today.
If you can't find a fan clutch(removal)wrench you can go to the nearest mechanic shop and ask him to loose the screw and you can drive the car for 15 minuts.
Did you make sure and bleed the coolant system properly of all air. If there is air in the system, it can prevent the upper parts of the cooling system from getting proper flow of coolant.
So I have a question. I have the same year and model as you, and I drove Wilbur (my ROver) over the mountain and about an hour into it my engine temp dropped down to cold. so I replaced my thermostat, and now my heater is not working.... could it be my water pump? any suggestions
My very first replacement, I improvised a fan removal tool and it took Forever (1 hour) and scraped some knuckles. The special fan reomval tool is awesome.
Dude where did you find the fan removal tool I could not find it anywhere.

This is also good information for Land Rover Discovery I
The Fan tool is important. My local auto store loans the tool out for free.

You're right,... without the specials tools it's (very) boring… but not impossible !! ;)
