Hi Geeves, Thanks for that information. The fan is plastic and it does turn fairly easily by hand. Checked the copy of the manual I have but cant find any info on the fluid. I cant see any obvious place to put the fluid but will have another look and what fluid do you use? Kind regards, Brian

They are not designed to be routinely refilled. The first thing to look at is whether the 2 halves are riveted or screwed together. If its riveted replace as a unit. If its screwed first find soomewhere that sells viscous clutch fluid. Only place I know in NZ is BNT but over there ? Take the fan off remove the fan from the unit and then undo all the screws and place both parts overnight on thick newspaper. This will drain out most of the burnt fluid. Its like runny honey in viscosity. Then take the fluid which is probably supplied in a syringe and squeeze as much as you can into both halves then quickly put the 2 parts together and put all the screws back etc
