Know the part
Understanding Cooling Fans
Cooling fans pull air through the radiator when the vehicle is moving slowly or stopped. Newer Land Rovers mostly use electric fans controlled by a fan module, while older and some larger engines use a belt-driven fan with a viscous coupling, sometimes alongside an electric fan for the air conditioning.
Fan motors wear out, fan modules fail, and fan blades can be broken by debris or mud. A failed fan often shows up first as overheating in traffic or while crawling off-road.

Questions
Common Questions About Land Rover cooling fans
Why does my Land Rover overheat only in traffic?
At low speed the engine relies on the cooling fan for airflow. A failed electric fan, a slipping viscous coupling or a clogged radiator are the common causes.
Is it normal for the fan to run after I switch off?
Yes, on many models the fan runs for a while after shutdown to cool the engine and turbo, particularly after a hard drive or during DPF regeneration.
Can I replace just the fan motor?
On some models the motor is sold separately; on others, the fan, cowl and module are one assembly. Send the VIN to check.
What should I send to order a cooling fan?
The VIN, engine code and whether the vehicle has air conditioning or towing packs that affect the fan specification.
