RR in for a dealer service. I asked them to look out for a high pitched whine which was constantly audible between 30 and 70 mph. They have advised it's coming from the a/c condenser fan. £550 plus 4 hours labour.

Sounds a lot Any thoughts?

Thanks guys. No harm in trying I guess. Aren't these things sealed? 2012 5.0L S/C

The motor could well be sealed but it has a shaft coming out to the fan itself.
The motors are in quite a vulnerable position and get covered in dirt etc as well as being very dry.
Well worth a few goes with sprays before coughing up £550 +4 hours labour.
I find it hard to believe that is what replacement would cost.
I think an Indy would be far more reasonable about it.

Will try. Really annoying as LR Select warranty is particularly 'select' and doesn't cover the fan!  2012 5.0L S/C

As above, but to make it easier to get at take the grille off, 2min job

If it doesn't work is look at a used item to replace it as it's the first one I've heard of failing, generally it's the viscous fan unit that fails  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
Mantec Sump Guard, Rigid Load liner, MY10 BT upgrade.

Bonjour gents...

KP the condenser fan fails a lot as the ff's are getting older Price for the fan was a wrapping £1000 before Ouch!

Craig- it's probably failed because of my sideways driving on Salisbury Plain  2012 5.0L S/C
