My pug sounds like a stuka dive bomber?

m reg 306 xldt, was pouring coolant down the street from the bottom of the radiator. on the 10 minute drive to the garage it sounded like a stuka dive bomber - a real head turner, everybody watched as i chugged by. The noise stopped before i got to the garage when the fan stopped - the car didnt overheat. The garage changed the rad, but now say the fan doesnt work. How much are fans? would i need to change/buy a whole assembly or can you get bits like temperature sensors and fan motors. Changing the rad has probably cost more than this car is worth, so I dont want to spend much more. coincidentally, does £240 seem reasonable to replace a passenger side window and change the radiator?
thanks pug knowers.

Answers:
I reckon you should go to your nearest salvage yard and buy the parts and fit them yourself, £240 is a hell of a lot for the jobs you need doing, garages are a rip off, and you need to watch them like a hawk. I'm in the fortunate position of being a mechanic, so a job like this is a baby p1ss to me, and I could do it for a tenth of what your garage is charging, but largely due to the fact that garages have an high labour rate, usually £40 an hour, £70 if its a main dealer, work it out for yourself!
it sounded like a Stuka Dive Bomber? your car didn't the Gull wing design and have a Borncshe Engine with fixed undercarrage air-whistles, two Wildau cannons and a rear facing OP90 machine-gun did it?
Thats about par for the course for a pug, what a nasty tatty piece of S.H.1 T. they are. By the way why do you clowns spend more on "clear" rear light clusters and under floor lighting, not to mention ear bursting sound systems, than you did for the car. I though most "M" reg wrecks where in the knackers yard.
