Machinehead 194 Report post Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) techincally, yesterday, I changed the thermostat and viscous fan on the 5, and took the Micra for a run to charge in and free the brakes (stood for a bit). Today I ran the 5 about and then thrashed it (at erm 70) up the dual carriage way and back (about 10 miles round trip) to check temperature, which didn't get above 97c even when back in the 40 then 30 limits, so happy with the job New viscous fan is noisy though!!!
