Hi Simon,

I decided for peace of mind and quickness to replace the complete fan after all the fan motors do have a tendency to pack up at between 60 and 80k . MGOC are doing the Chinese ones apparently off the production line for £175 plus postage better than Rimmers for £300 plus postage. They were quick to send me one and I have fitted it, so I will now have to wait and see if it has cured the leak. Personally I am rather pessimistic and I still think it is HGF but will report back in a week or so.

Incidentally I have had the car for 16 years and have changed the coolant on a number of occasions and I always adhere to the procedure set out in the Haynes manual.
