the old girl needs help

[Peterr]

Hi folks my 88 f reg 124 300 ce auto needs a new rad and viscouse fan , I think as it is easily stoppable when it kicks in, seems to be far too lazy
Any ideas where the best place is to buy these parts.
Also I need a knowledgable mechanic in South Wales, not spiteri, who can sort her out.
Thanks
Peter

See what rad firms charge for an exchange, I think the the visc unit only comes from MB, it makes it an easy job with the rad off.

You could try these people http://www.stuttgartgarage.co.uk/ I have not tried them so cannot attest to the service. However I think that other forum members have had good service from them.

GSF sell the Viscous units....about a ton, from memory.

Any radiator supplier will be able to recore it for you for a fraction of the cost of the dealer.Euro car parts should do the fan.
