Default Front fan rattle

Front fan has started chattering (on 127K miles). Presumably bearing going, so no cure except replace? Looks a pig of a job and little point in buying a S/H one as I intend keeping it till St Peter calls me - or The Revolution happens, whichever comes first . . .

Try to resist making assumptions Dave. I don't remember anyone suffering fan motor bearing failure before. There have been one or two instances of the plastic fan blades loosening on the motor spindle's bayonet-style fitting though.

That's encouraging . . . I believe the dealer had to change the fan when I bought it, 60K miles ago, so tempted to agree but? Perhaps I'll try getting a socket on the spindle?

I'm not sure what you mean by that Dave. It's a bayonet fitting so no socket required, just hands!

The spindle nut is used with a thin walled 15mm socket to hold the fan motor still while you remove & re-fit the fan blades
