Does anybody know how much it will cost me to have the head done on my 390 and a new radiator fan fitted,also any garage in bradford or surrounding area.

Dont know on the price, but you may want to drop TrickieDicke a line on here.

He has a guy down that neck of the woods he swears by.

Half a day to swap a V8 head gasket (one side only), assuming that's all that needs doing... another half-day to do the fan... start with 8 hours at £45 an hour plus parts and be sitting down...

Hi Mark

As Rob says I am based in Bradfordistan and also for my sins am
one of the Regional Organisers for the West Yorkshire TVR Car Club.

I had my heads done last year on my 400 including head scimming etc for about £500

There are also a couple of local members who run garages and specialise in TVRs
so may be worth ringing round and getting a couple of prices.

Send me a PM and I will let you have my number to discuss and help

Cheers
Trickie

Do the fan yourself. I am no technical genius and I managed it with a lot of cursing, scuffing of knuckles but the satisfaction at the end was measurable!!!

I got the same fan as original from MAW Solutions, it was a DC31. Here is a link:-

Agree about the fan...only a nuts bolts and scraped fingers job.
