Dean, that’s not uncommon with these. I have the been there done that T shirt. Unfortunately there is only one fix, you have to buy a new one. At least the new one will come with a hub bearing. I bought mine from Rose Passion.

Hi John I was actually going to ask you about this. Do you think I can drive it for the rest of my holiday or am I best to not drive it until it's fixed? What's the cost roughly? When I replace it I'll be installing a single belt adaptor.

Definitely wouldn't drive it with the fan like that!

D, bugger! Probably not worth the risk of driving it.
Upside to maintain your engine bay with the fan replacement. Paint the shroud, check the alternator and brushes.

As for when it happened, I reckon your eye just hasn’t caught it before. It was there but not seen. I see everything now on these cars because I’ve been there done that with so many parts. You don’t want me judging a concours!
Unfortunately the only new option is Porsche. With freight, customs etc they are about NZ$1,200 landed.
I’ll check my spares. I think I have a used one off the Silver C4.

Dean - Given the state of your fan, I would not drive it and risk damage. Not sure about pricing in NZ, but in the US it is about $400-$450 with the bearing. Here is how I went about to change mine, a bit daunting at first but not that hard really. https://rennlist.com/forums/964-foru...l#post11378795

Hey Spokes, although I'm disappointed I think the same, will give me the opportunity to clean and check things.

How long is your holiday? I don’t think anyone is going to advise driving it around much because that crack is quite long and the possibility of total failure is high which would damage the shroud and decklid. That said you’ve likely been driving with it like this for a while. Your car your money. You can mark it all and check for progression

Any extra damage to the deck lid would probably tidy it up a bit haha
I looked through all my old photos, I knew there were a few small hairline cracks but nothing like this. I'd say it's gotten worse.
Haha you are like me inspecting someone else's plumbing, I'm like Satan
Awesome I'll send you a text

Going into hibernation!
For anyone interested, spent the past 2 days giving the car a full spa treatment. Full clay bar, wet sand where needed and polish. Then went back in the shed where she will hibernate for a while until I accumulate some parts (and money haha) and I'm ready to install new engine fan

Wait, you just sanded and polished the car and you only posted one pic of the finished product!!!!
Single stage Guards Red is stunning after a proper polish, it’s the only paint that looks try wet and ready to drip off the car.
What polish did you use?

Mate, I was actually in shock after I had done the first panel. The paint looks like hot jam or something haha you are right it looks like it could drip off the car!
I just used a generic fine polish from the local auto store, probably could have splashed out and bought an expensive one but It came up almost perfect.
