Okay so I take the coldest day in Indiana to move house. I get all my stuff in a uhaul trailer attached to the LR Disco I (98) all is well, until I try and park the trailer at the new house. Well the snow was disguising a ditch, so the LR and I end up in the ditch with the trailer attached. I manage to find someone nice enough to pull me out but while i was spinning my wheels it turns out that the clutch on that geared fan thing failed, the fan then shattered, tearing through my oil filter, my radiator and leaving upward dents in my hood. Could anyone tell me the most cost effective place to get a new radiator and one of those fan things.

Thanks!:banghead:

You may have broken a motor mount, allowing the fan to hit something and break.

I broke a couple of blades on my fan once due to busted motor mounts.. easy to replace.

Find Will Tillery for replacement fan and viscous.. surely he could help you out with a radiator too or at least point you in the right direction.. heck, he's probably got a hood for ya too
