I understand for many message sites that you shouldn't have a problem with the fan. However when I was back in England I visited a Land rover Workshop for some parts and talked to them in depth on this issue. They told me, that the fan only really comes in the play when off-roading and have I tried just running the truck with out the fan. They said if the engine gets to hot in my model, a 94 Disco (Dont know is this the same for other years). The A/C fan will cut in. They said that being as I live in Minnesota in the winter I would have no troubles with this set up. I have removed the fan but I keep it in the truck with a wrench just in case. I also have an independent coolant temp gauge and so far I have seen no change in the temp up or down. And he was right I left the truck running in the drive and sure enough after a long time the A/c cut in.
This is all good for day-to-day road uses but I would replace the fan for off-roading.
PS I’m not advising this to everyone this is just my experience.
I'm putting my fan back on this weekend and will be removing it this winter 5 degrees F
