You can just replace the whole viscous fan, you'll need a 32mm spanner IIRC. If not then it's the bearing in the water pump. Which is a little bit more involved.

its the fan because the whole fan is loose and rubbing against the rad.its a viscous one .its only noisey at low speeds and start up.

Yeah I've got one if you want, you can get them from GFS too. You'll need a fan spanner really. And I'd get it done though mate, you'll be really pissed off when it dumps all the water :cry:
