I've been told by a mechanic friend that a new radiator fan with motor for
a 2.0 ltr rover 75 CDT will cost around £350 plus fitting
... Is this reasonable ?
... or is he 'avin a larf ?



That is the cost of the fan motor and controller and is correct.

Beaware that if he has not done acouple before, he will want to discharge
and refill the a/c (the official method) but is it possible to do the job
without if you cut the fan shroud (to get the wires out) with a hacksaw and
after "lace" it back together with small cable ties .

Unfortunately its the weakest part of the car and a £500 job to do.


**** that. Get a Kenlowe Fan Kit which includes an adjustable temp
sender and DIY it. Shouldn't take more than a couple of hours.
