Ratchet and Spanner

After a drive back from the Cotswolds my Brother’s car was sounding progressively worse — kind of like someone had thrown a bag of gravel in a heavy duty blender.
So after we thankfully arrived home alive and without casualties he thought it would be a good idea to have the horrendous sound checked out.
I accompanied him to Ratchet and Spanner, they said they would try and confirm what the cause of the problem was and get back to him in a couple of days. So after a couple of days they believed they had identified the problem, apparently the radiator fan has come loose and was grinding against the surrounding casing — no major biggie according to them. They installed a new one and.. . peace at last, relative to how it was, it felt like I was passenger in one of the smoothest auto-​mobiles cruising the streets of Birmingham. £20 down and a functioning fan up — that seems like a fair trade to me.
