Fan making a noise

Hi

Recently my car's fan has been making a funny noise, someone told me it's the bearings in the fan and the whole lot will maybe need replacing

i don't really know much about cars, i don't even know how the fan works, all i know is it keeps the engine cool?

after i stop the car the fan keeps going and it sounds well rough and noisy.

do you think i could change the fan myself? is it a big job? would a garage charge me allot?

thanks (i was going to buy the fan off that guy who crashed his black gti on this message board, if he still has it)

Swapping the fan is just a case of unbolting the old fan and bolting on the new fan, taking care to not damage the radiator.
