Best place to buy a replacement radiator fan?

Would you buy 2nd hand (£50), new (shop4parts - £70), main dealer (£130).

Anyone recommend good places to buy from? It's the valeo type fan.

Cheers,
Neil

well i would go with shop4parts.no need to pay the dealer price and for £20 more for the new one its worth it.TBH £50 for a scrappy one seems way overpriced IMO

Re: Best place to buy a replacement radiator fan?

Just the motor I assume, give it 12v and it doesn't spring into life. The car has aircon and the motor runs at 2 speeds - don't know if this makes a difference when finding a replacement.

Do I have to take the radiator out to replace the motor?

Many thanks
Neil

Right, looks like because I have air conditioning there are no second hand ones on the market

New price is £90 from a place in stoke on trent.

Now the power steering is making a funny fizzing noise when I turn the wheel (electrical sounding) - what money pit have a just bought!!!!???
