AlexJames Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 grr.... some how managed to snap another fin off the blades, now the engine is shaking light a frightened chiwawa. Anyone know where I can get an alloy one from? or have a spare on the cheap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRASUZUKI Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Maybe you know this already, but best not to drive it with the fan out of balance. You'll only end up breaking something else.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Before you replace it maybe worth finding the cause to the failures as it maybe something else causing these fans to fail, I dont see to may that break elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, problem is its my only car, and the engine only seems to vibrate when she warms up propper, i can get to work and back on a cold engine Before you replace it maybe worth finding the cause to the failures as it maybe something else causing these fans to fail, I dont see to may that break elsewhere Yeah, i think I know the cause of the problem, a fitting was loose on the cone filter which already sits very close to the blades, i think it knocked it. Ooh and I broke the first one while parking in the corner of a wall... who wouldaa though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexJames Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 Do Toyota still make em? i tried calling Steve Manly but hes not back till tomorrow. Kinda worried cause I need to drive to Bournmouth this weekend too! Stupid question but could I break off the adjacent fin? would it balance up at all? is there an adjacent fin or are they odd numbered?
