radiator replacement--what else, while I'm at it? 700 1992

Howdy, Y'all,

To get ahead of a slow leak, I am about to replace the radiator for my '92 740 Turbo wagon, 134,000 miles. The previous owner had the radiator replaced in 1999. Though the hoses and thermostat seem to be fine, I'll change those, too.

I replaced my water pump last October.

While I've got everything apart there, I suppose it makes sense to replace the fan switch. What about the turbo intercooler?

I should replace the heater water valve as well, right? And, on the same theme, should I change the heater core now, or just wait until it fails? (I understand from the FAQ that it's a big job.)

Anything else that I am overlooking?

--George
