Welder repair in Southampton/Hampshire

Can anyone suggest someone/somewhere to look at my 160A mig? The cooling fan has stopped running (it seems to weld just fine), so I expect that the ability to weld on the higher power settings is restricted...

Does anyone know of anywhere that services MIGs? Preferably in the Southampton area, but I am prepared to travel if needed!

When mine went I just ripped out the old fan and bolted a couple of these to the side casing wired to the on/off switch.

240v fans

Afterwards the welder was a little more noisy but could weld at full power all day far better than the original effort.

I expect you can get some for pennies on eBay, not worth paying someone to even look fixing what is there.
