Buy the fan clutch first, if thats not it then you are only out $100, if that IS it then problem solved.
If you drop the $400 for a new radiator and then the fan clutch is the culprit then you will need to drop another $100.
www.motorcarsltd.com has the best price I have seen on a new LR fan clutch.
Otherwise follow the link that AntiChrist posted and buy a fan clutch from Advance Auto, $65.
You will need to make the bolt holes bigger on the fan clutch but it will bolt right up no problem.
Always start free/cheap before you spend any real money.
As for testing your radiator...other than taking it to a shop and having it flow tested I have no idea.
IMO I would just replace the fan clutch first.
Now here is a tip for you, the fan clutch MUST sit vertical for a minimum of 24 hours before you install it, otherwise it will self destruct and then be no good.

I can't think of any reason to buy a Land Rover fan clutch instead of the one from Advance, unless you don't have a drill. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...GRPCOOLAMS____
I didn't really have much mess taking my radiator.
BTW, '97 was the last year of the 5-speed in the US.
