Default Call Me a IDIOT!
Yes Friends I got it all WRONG!!!
after many posts over the years Crying my XJ runs HOT!......and 3 thermostats 2 radiators and 2 water pumps later
I fixed the water pump leak and fitted a hi flow pump and still my temps were up oner the 100 mark I was pulling my hair out why does the 96 run so HOT yet the 99 runs at a nice 93 ish air on or off Well I was thinking about doing a bypass switch on the dash to run the electric fan when I want as I am going to Bris in a month then Yesterday I realized I had it all back the front!!!!
I thought that because my clutch fan didn't spin more than a quarter of a turn when cold it was GOOD!.....................
But that's not GOOD is it............."NO!" All these years I had it back to front So I ordered a new fan clutch
Mine would hardly turn when cold I havnt tried to shove a rolled up newspaper into it when running hot as yet BUT I bet it is F$&#)D
All this time.............................................. ..........
_____ooooo

I don't know what to say. Yes your fan clutch should be stiffer than that. The wrong way around is an easy mistake to make....but really this long.....well shit.
Please keep us posted when all is running sweet.

The last guy on here who had fan related cooling problems all be it with electric fan, after I suggested he was an idiot & got myself banned for a few days. No chance I am calling you an idiot! He suggested that the test with a news paper was not scientific enough & so not something he would do. Turned out he had his electric fan wired backwoods & it was fighting his mechanical fan. He was called Tuffeb. He got himself permanently banned in the end.
Your discovery is just part of the evolution of owning an XJ.
Look at it this way, at least you havent blown the engine.

I thought owning an XJ was enough of a statement you are, without the need to put "idiot" in writing.....
