 Re: A new thread all about muffs. James, 36 lb.ft torque needed...  Compare that with wheel nuts, which need between 29 & 43 lb.ft. ken Jameswallace wrote: I've had the fan fall off a few times
Only time I've realised is when the engine smells hot in the cab!
And it will idle higher

Re: A new thread all about muffs. ken, i wont take up sky diving no the problem was is Chris and i put the car back together, and I was seeing Chris off and forgot to put the bolt in One smashed fan later (also hadnt fitted the fan guard) and a bent mesh behind the grille, lesson is learned (best not talk about the oil filter incident also  that was another case of being distracted )

Re: A new thread all about muffs. I will just add my 2 pennies worth here
i fit mine in the morning when its "really" cold.. right now im setting off at around 05:30 for work and by the time im a mile down the road i can already feel heat coming through to the demister or under the dash... but right now i havent got my muff fitted! although it'll probably be fitted either the end of this month or next month!
also it's a good idea to take it off if you are considering any long distance/motorway driving...

Re: A new thread all about muffs. Mine ran like a bag of spanners with it on, took it off and it was much better. Guess I'll leave it to get a bit colder.
