Hey everyone. Been reading these forums for a while but have not posted yet.
I have a 2010 Land Rover with 75,000 miles on it. Auto shop says I need a new fan clutch and total is going to cost me $1,450!
Here's my issue, I had a restricted performance message come on during a 5 hour drive to Edmonton. It came on 4 hours into the drive. nearly the entire drive had been through very heavy rainfall. A restricted performance message came on, I hit ok. It disappeared after a few minutes. This continued for the rest of the trip where it would come on for a few mins and turn off after a few more.
Fast forward to the next day and the engine light came on, along side with the restricted performance message being on permanently.
Scanned the code when I got home. The code that came up when I scanned it is p0480 fan cooler. I took it Into a shop (not Land Rover, I live 2 hours away from one) and they said I need a new fan clutch and the part costs $1200. This seems ridiculous to me but I am having trouble finding any parts online. I'm hoping someone else might have had an experience with this issue.
From the little information I've seen on this restricted performance, it sounds like it can be as simple as a bad connector..
If it is in fact the fan clutch, would anyone have an idea where I could get one for under $1200? I would appreciate it greatly.
