OK apologies to all for touchiness reasons I have not had nosecone off are two fold, not had any need to so no point in just messing and am currently without suitable garage space for working on car, so if its sunny I have been driving it and if not its been in friends V small and crowded garage, today I borrowed a large and comfortable garage to do fans, but back to the question
The Fans have done, Presumably, about 12k miles if they have been on from new, recently have been noticing a noise similar to when a leaf gets into a fan only louder, a bit like when you were a kid and stuck some card to your bike forks to make a noise,
Any way, as explained about garage, while a local Garage was doing oil change and spanner check he checked over the fans and they were rocking on the spindles and catching the casing, also if I spin the fans manually they sound like a well oiled ratchet.
Strange that both are the same! anyway as we are driving down to Greece in it in a couple of weeks thought better to be safe than sorry and chuck new ones in, nice and quiet now.
hope mine is a one off and yours are fine
Tim
