Maria - I have an adjustable that goes to 32mm (as my viccy fan is 32mm), though its a bit wide if its tight.  I'll throw it in car anyway.

A message for you Mark.... if its not too much trouble and you have them, please can you bring a strobe light, a vac gauge and if you have one,  a 32mm viscous fan coupling spanner?  ::)

Is this spanner needed for the land rover Maria?
