Mikes Samurai build / use / fixing broken bits after abuse

[dan_2k_uk]

I spent about 5 evenings trying to get the 1.6 rad in using the viscous fan and the original shroud.

Partly because my hands were so cold and it gets dark so early but mainly because fiddling around with things that aren't meant to go together just takes longer than you think.
