300 tdi timing cover (vicious fan) bearing help

I conked out in a big cloud of smoke and grinding at the weekend during mud master. Half way through a Forrest stage my engine started bleeding, the power steering pump was pouring out power steering fluid and you could see the pulley wobbling about, which despite trying to keep feeding it ne w fluid, totally gave up a few miles later on.

Stripping the front of the engine down to remove the pump this morning I found my viscous fan bearing on the timing case is particularly noisy. No problem, it'll only be a few quid won't it.........so after drawing a blank on parts I did a search and it appears this is quite a common probmlem but the bearing is very hard to come by and awful expensive.

I then started looking at eBay for a replacement timing cover, but there are several different part numbers shown even though they all say defender/discovery 300 tdi non air con.

So a few questions:

Does anyone know where to get a viscous fan bearing?

A while ago I saw a link to a Russian site for part numbers, was it on here somewhere or does anyone have a link where I can check part numbers?

Are all 300tdi timing covers the same apart from air con/non air con?

Any help gratefully received and any advice on my best way forward would be most welcome. 2015 RRS Autobiography SDV6
