Pulleys turned up yesterday so whacked 'em straight on. I went for chrome as I haven't had a set of those since I had an Anglia in 1975, so a one last time reprise seemed long overdue. Also fitted a cool anything viscous fan package. Be running out of excuses not to take it for MOT shortly...

Is that a brand name, Blue? I've been looking at fan packages but that's a new one on me. The Mopar Performance fan package seems to have changed from the asymmetrical five blade type which I was looking for so now looking for other options.

This is a Mancini kit Gareth, no doubt a repackeged version of what Mopar Performance sell these days.

Do like those viscous fans, Blue. Mine solved any hot running immediately, if anything it runs a bit cold in winter. I fitted a hemi sized fan. Looks similar/same as yours

Passed MOT today and had a 50 odd mile first run out. No dramas but a few odds and sods to sort out. Just waiting for the DVLA to do thier thing now.

Always a great success and a sigh of relief when that sort of ticket gets issued!
Well done fella!

Fantastic news Blue, from import to MOT in record time...I don't think you would have achieved that in twice the time at the old workshop.
Epic achievement mate.
