Forumites,
More of an information thing than anything else, mate of
mine has a 97 TB engined GQ Patrol (Auto) with 190,000K's, regularly serviced and not abused, to a point, does a fair amount of gravel work. Recently took the vehicle in for it's service only to be told the main fan has several lateral cracks going through the plastic fan hub, could have significant consequences if one let go, something worth checking, new fan cost about the $500 mark, not sure if that was including fitting or just the fan. Nissan couldn't explain there and then what caused it.
It's a bit like the horn bracket that cracks and allows the horn fall down between the air con rad and the steel work, this eventually wears through the radiator core with obvious results, the cables are long enough so the horn doesn't disconnect and still works. Keep the shiny side up
