Hey all, long time listener, first time caller...
I've got a 1993 2.9 'rado and have loved it dearly for about 7 years. Finally have a week off from work so am able to spend some time sorting some niggles out that have started to crop up this year. Usually I use the forums and dig around but didn't have much luck with the issue I currently have.
My radiator fan motor is knackered, it's still working but it sounds awful whenever the fan kicks in. I spoke to the mechanic who said it's going to eventually give out but because the model I have is the dual fan cooler, it's not as easy as just buying a new fan motor and you really need to hunt down a replacement fan unit, he suggested hunting around on the web for one as to get a new unit in will be £300 otherwise. I've been scouring for a while for a matching fan motor: 357 959 445 J
I have found this one though which looks identical but wanted to check with you guys if you think I should go for it or if there is something fundamentally different, or if you have any other smart ideas...

Thanks for all the tips you have given me over the years.
