thanks for the info roland, much appreciated but do you know offhand how much just the rad is new.

On a similar theme,is it possible to replace just the cooling fan without removing the rad ?as I have noticed with "eco" on so only the main radiator fan running there is a grinding noise and suspect the bearings are giving up on the fan.
Expect the whole unit needs replacing as doubt if worth effort in stripping it down and trying to replace just bearings.Any body have idea of part number and cost?

Depends on where you buy from, if VX expect to pay a lot.  There are some new ones on  ebay for around £100.

wouldn't consider fitting a used one, do the job once and fit new

According to my secret scource it's 90466350, sorry don't know price

Was intending to buy new or as close as,so will keep looking.Is it possible to remove and replace fan unit without takink entire rad out then?

[RolandL]

Shouldn't be a problem, fan is secured in three places on the rad. Once trumpets are removed you will get better access to it  

[amba]

that,s what i thought but couldn,t remember if one of the bolts securing the motor assembly was behind the edge of the rad and would be impossible to get with rad still fitted.Thanks for part number,have found something similar on fleabay,but part numbers differ.

...... Although a new rad is about [size=18]£200 [/size]on Trade Club you'll only have the job to do once.

If you are going to get it replaced which I strongly recommend, I'd try your local yellow pages.  I found a few places that repair and replace them.  As said before the guy couldn't fix it but a brand new radiator only cost me £100.
