Same here. Squeaks when cold. Being done in 2 weeks by local garage. Can’t be doing it myself. Easier to do on my ‘93 Classic which I can handle

Hi, that's the 7 parts they've used on mine so you should have all you need other than antifreeze. I think it is easy to break the plastic tee piece coolant pipe on the top hose so be careful with that & good luck. Weather forecast for the weekend is good |

Quick update...Parts have just arrived, didn’t make it for the weekend (couple of working days to get the LR parts in) So just spent time making some access. Also cleaning the throttle body, shamefully full of gunk.

There is a bit of space from the top where it looks like I can get access from the top to fit 3 of the pulley’s Just need a bit of daylight to start. The 9-5 day job not helping!

Yep as above G.box cooler. Don’t take the hoses off, but it should be poss to unbolt and push to one side👍🏻 There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Plato69, I did same thing 2~3 months ago and it is very fiddly job, I am not very good on posting PDF files so if You ask Baltic Blue (Mike) to post PDF for cooling fan removal it will greatly help You to do the job. if You are doing it on a driveway You may consider some sort of ramps, I use this home made.
