Radiator fan motor bearing

[Andy B]

New to R4 servicing & repairs on my R4 GTL (83)…My radiator fan motor is making a noise when activated.. sounds like a dry bearing … I was wondering if it could be greased or lubed to get a little extra life from it? Or if it’s a complete replacement?!?! grateful for any ideas AB

Cannot seem to find any uk suppliers.. France & Germany have plenty… but 5-10day delivery

18 month back I found one from a large UK motor factor otherwise Autodoc are good about 7-8 day delivery the price plus postage of about £7 is what you pay no problem with extra custom or import have used them a lot never a problem
