some people buy the twin cooloing fan kit, (dont know where you buy it from),
i suppose you can buy a standard one from scrapies/breakers and wire it into the original one, but dont hold me to that.

GMC do a very nice rad and intercooler combo. Not cheap at £1000 but possibly the best of both you will ever find

This Nissens rads are supposed to be a lot more efficient at cooling, or alternatively the ones GMC sell is a PACE unit (to match their PACE intercooler). As said, it's not cheap at nearly £450 a piece though!
You could easily add a second fan to what you've got - maybe just hook the second fan up to a switch on the dash to save worrying about wiring?
