I thought some of his prices OTT, Trish, but if that is for a new fan that is very good value.
Trouble with some s/h fans, depending on type, have a limited life due to the brushes wearing prematurely and you don't know the state without a look inside (not easy)
I do think the Kenlowe fan, for not much more cash, offers, in many cases, a far more reliable alternative to the Rover item.
My fan has not given trouble.........yet...

(at 51,000) so my thoughts are those as picked up on the forum over a number of years.
Hope it gives you good service & miles of happy motoring.

It was a second hand fan Hun, but with that fact he paid for next day delivery free I kinda thought he was worth a punt and the fan works so all good LOL Tam did say he thought it was expensive but my experience is kinda limited on costings, his communication was great so was the time scale etc

It's always good to find a source but he's definately not cheap.

Member & trader seancar on here may be a good place to start if you require any more parts.

Totally agree, £35 for a used coolant header tank, he's having a laugh

Use the forum traders much better value.

Well his price for a airbag cover of £45 seems steep, especially as I just got a full mk1 real wood dash, including all the bits for 99p (plus £7.50p&p)

lol @ £35 for a rear light.
