Default Cost of Rover Spares

Sounds very high. The aux fan for a BMW E39 costs about 125
quid.


Nope.
Nearer 225 quid at main dealer prices.


Don't you know about Eurocarparts? And that they can get you bits they
don't necessarily have in their cat

It's what I paid about 18
months ago, when I bought and fitted one to my 528i.
It's not just a fan. There's quite a complicated 'housing
assembly' that comes with it.


Indeed. One of the few guaranteed failure points on an E39. They get
blocked with leaves, etc.

Still bloody expensive for what it is though.


Only time I go to a BMW dealer for spares is if I can't source them
elsewhere.
