    If its a two speed fan the resistor has failed, if it's three speed then a pair of the four brushes have worn

    If its a three speed fan, you can put a pair of new brushes in, but long term you'll need a new fan

    You need to speak to Jules, he can do you an OEM one or a Kenlowe unit

    Thanks for all the info guys. Think I'll be going down the garage tomorrow to got through what's been said and if needs be get an auto electrician I know to have a look into it before forking out for a new fan.

    Being a bit naive here... is Jules on the MGOC site? At work on mob atm and not got my membership number to login to see.

    Cheers.

    Right been down the garage and sadly it's the 3 speed fan variant in mine so the resistors not an option.

    So rather than drag things out and for peace of mind I think I'll bite the bullet and contact Jules for the new 2 speed fan motor and resistor.

    Thanks for all the info everyone. You've still prob saved me £200 with the links provided than had I just let the garage sorce one from their suppliers.

    Cheers
