As Seth said, thermo viscous fans should be kept upright.  :y

I thrashed drove mine around for 2yrs without the viscous.

I would concede, its worth having if under heavy load, at slow speeds, up inclines...  ...eg, towing a pikey wagon.

But when not towing, it will do the car more good NOT having it.

If it even begins to get anywhere near halfway between midpoint and 100C on the guage, you have another issue. TD must never go beyond this point. 100C on the gauage is almost guaranteed HG or head fubared.
