Technical Need a new cooling fan

[tom__]

Took my car in for an MOT the other day and apparently they couldn't do it because the fans seized up and it was overheating (though it seems fine when I drive it normally, the temperature light never comes on). So I need to get a new fan fitted and if possible I'd like to do it myself to save some money as I dont want to be spending too much cash on a car that I'm hopefully selling soon. Any idea where I can get a replacement one and how easy is it to fit? It looks like theres just a connector and a few bolts on a bracket holding it on, is this right? If its a hard job, how much should a garage charge to sort it out for me?

Cheers

yes just a few wires and three bolts. they bolt on the the rear of the radiator just a fan and the housing

dead easy tbh, removed mine when i changed my radiator =]

im not entirly sure if the wiring is on a plug :/

someone else should be able to clear that up =]

Yup 3 securing bolts and a small plug (the wire to the plug is clipped down so avoid yanking & breaking those lil'clips.)
To make it a tad easier I removed my wheel arch lining - easy job and the fan was from shop4parts and in the region of £50..

Good luck with it..

Well I took my car in for an MOT at a garage my dad knows, and they've offered to replace the fan for me. Thanks for the help though, sounds easy!
