If you cannot obtain any adjustment by undoing the bolts on the cowling-to-rad and wiggleing / tightening back up. (Pretty sure MkII is the same as III / IV) then there's always blade shaving. A few hundred thou off your plastic fan blades will make little difference to cooling.

Probably becuase the fan was catching - previous owner removed it! As above, or you could take a toffee hammer to the suspected area.

Nev: It had a silly bit off angle iron type stuff as a bracket. i looked at it and said that it would help putting a proper bracket on.
is there bushes in the bottom of the rad mount?
