If the rear window is flat, a plant repair company or glazing company should be able to cut one to a pattern.

Not sure on the validity of the statement but I’ve read that sometimes it’s best to fill with neat water first and run the engine up to temperature before draining and refilling. This is supposed to give the sealant on the head gasket a chance to flow/work so it’s not contaminated by the antifreeze.- 862 replies

I’ve used this combination before. It works well. https://www.amazon.co.uk/32mm-Viscous-Spanner-Holding-Pulley/dp/B07RWBFJMR/ref=sr_1_4?crid=26VBPJZ7Q4SEQ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ie3hEYvmHrNISq_kQW1kauGnXqwnVDNEaoLbNiUqxGz9-4YQ2bLSirX4xSVElsu3X8v2iRL27VnzBLAUZvwtAUnOwjsAyt9JJeqnfP9rQYsZoBG8hUNHwc2Fjxmxi_xmirgQUa3hsyKiaWqiooHogzko1cTuFer3K7bpy8XftG9sdCU70YkjjYL2-BNGGODTQUHBYqndXZIcIOsKTVE951-L2zDkrp08sEtTYW1UlRZaXQ2lchoIhSiZJNbCrthdfR7cQ2oT4dS9kXLUP4cviyPjyTqEF3gcJtC9VqCCdsE.VQZ4bbHzBkV6DAoC0HRsgAXH8a_YPiokzCAXsgg6AII&dib_tag=se&keywords=viscous+fan+tool&qid=1708630068&sprefix=Viscous+%2Caps%2C115&sr=8-4 if you’re lucky a swift blow, in the correct direction, from a hammer onto a spanner is often enough to loosen it. -

If it is 36mm then that’s the same as old Land Rover defenders. Spanners for viscous couplings are readily available for these. -

Yes it’s similar to that but listed specifically for coolant systems. ( although I suspect it could be the same) -

I’ve found one on the Amazon app. A small bottle of dye and torch in the Ring Automotive shop but I’m a bit of a Luddite and don’t know how to post a link. -

I’ve put some uv die in the coolant before and used the special torch that can come with it. Very helpful when tracking down a weeping hose in the MINI -

1980’s Vauxhalls: 1200 Nova indicated 120 on the clock down Haldon Hill on the A38 near Exeter 1300 Cavalier, again 120 indicated with 4 on board. No rev counter in the Cav but you knew when to change up as the dashboard started bouncing up and down. Vauxhall certainly made very willing, free reving engines back then, and company cars were always the fastest.
