    I had hoped it might be the resistor but my mechanic has just advised he put a power feed directly to the fan post resister and the fan is still dead.

    The motor would need replacing then I would have thought. Or get the bushes replaced in it perhaps.

    How did he do that than? Unless he pulled back some insulation there's no way I know to connect a power source.
    Before dishing out on a new fan, I'd recheck.

    Look for Jules on the other site, he has new fans and relays and could possibly fit them for you assuming you can get the car there.

    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.
