    I'd say flush the cooling system and sort out the non-spinning fans. Maybe do the thermost. Can get a low k's motor for under $500.

    Hopefully the impeller is fine as the water pump was replaced along with the timing belt about 8000km ago. My pick will be the temp switch which can be bridged with some wire in the meantime.

    Of course I said yes!
