Hi
I've been a member for a year or so and an avid reader but nothing much in the posting dept for that I apologise.
I've owned my '99 C2 Cab for around 18months and it gets used very rarely due to mainly time restraints, but seeing as the weather has been great lately I've blown the dust off and got my wife to use it as the daily, whilst I have been traveling the 17miles miles or so to Bath a few times a week in it.
It's pretty much up together, I put a full exhaust on it last year which now sounds great, it needs discs as they have corroded slightly on the insides, and I did notice whilst having an mot last year that the off-side rad had a very small leak, radweld was the cure for that.
So what with the temperature being in the late 20s this week I've been keeping a keen eye on the temp guage and noticed that the off-side fan isn't working, so what with the aforementioned leak I feel it's time I got to know my Porsche a little bit better.
Now when the engine is cold and air con switched on only one fan works so I'm thinking it's more than likely the fan and maybe the resistor will need replacing and whilst I'm at it I'll replace the rads too.
Question is where to get the rads, and if I need fans what's the options? I want to avoid dealer prices but want quality too
Thanks for reading
