Yep, put it in boiling water, and you should see the 'inside bit' move. Hold it with some needle nose pliers, and pop it in a glass of cold water, it should do the opposite. Push/pull is usually a matter of looks over function. While driving, you don't need a fan, so it should only come on when you stop at the lights, or idling around town. Could try using heavy cardboard around the fan, to see if it makes any difference.?? This is the TMeyer 'stat I put in the XB. They do this....

I've also heard it's a worn out clutch pack when the BTR looses engine braking. Bet it makes the car go through brakes quicker

Thats fine, mate. As long as it's there. In the past, I've run Clevo's with a Dayco (DT66, or something) and a bog standard XF 6 cyl radiator, in an XD, and an XA ute, with no issues. The XF engine bay/bonnet is not the most friendly shape for a Clevo, but the thermo fan should cure that. Make sure you have a shroud around the fan, so ALL the air is being sucked/pushed through the fan opening.

I have a few which do that. I've been told, it's a sticking one way clutch (ie, a mechanical issue). OR a worn out C4 clutch pack. I've never had one apart, to actually see though. My BF wagon was doing it too, but only sometimes.

I apologise for thread mining but I have waited a long time to finally be able to put my car in this thread.

. Pacemakers to 2.5 inch mandrel solid mounted for best clearance. From diff back it flairs to 3" and has a unbranded 2.5" sports muffler that needs new glass pack.

2.5inch press bent off a standard manifold and one muffler.
