hey i started to notice that the passanger side radiator fan is a bit loose and makes a awful noise once the fans turn on is there anyway to tighten it also seems like it has trouble turning as when i turn it manualy it seems a bit rough ....
also my battery seems to be draining and would go dead after a day of not starting i suspect it has something to do with my starter motor as it has been gradually getting worse ( would need to turn key more then once to start car on occasion ) the car alsoo seems to sit on 12v or sometimes just below it (its also a new battery )
any help would be greatly appreicated

Not too sure about the fans mate. But the battery problem sounds like a failing alternator not charging the battery properly

This, sounds like alternator is on it's way out.
