Got a Q about Viscious Fans...Yeah they arnt very reliable but hey I was told they started going when the heat from the engine locked the springs/gears inside the fan... Why does mine go (for about 5 mins) on cold startup in the morning? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Why is it that VLs handle so ****e in the wet? Was going up to get a wof, i was going up a hill, auto was in too higher gear, so gave the pedal a bit of a tap. The whole car lashed out, all over the road, both lanes, sliding everywhere, swung into the kerb, and munted a Royale alloy. Pretty shaken up. Got to VTNZ, about 10 cars there, decided to go home, 500 metres from my house a cop in the opposite lane looks at me, turns around, 50 metres from my house on go the lights. Sits in his car for 3 mins, "Do you realise your wof and reg expired 2 months ago?" I told him how I was carrying out some work on my car, new radiatior, water pump, cambelt etc. He asks me if i had been in trouble with the law before and what I do for a living and he lets me off!! Westie cops FTW!
