Mark,
Could be a few things, they are all common.
In order of ascending cost...

Fan jammed (leaf etc. can jam them)
Resistor block, does it work on speed 3 but not 1&2?
Seized fan.
Burnt out motor.

I hope it's something high up the list.

Check the connectors for corrosion

Yup I agree, that too.

I think most of the problems are from water or coolant (from leaking rad) getting into that area and the fan ends up having to work in a nice puddle...

Thnaks guys

I think it may be the corrosion/water/coolant problem as one of my rad hoses popped of last month and coolant was everywhere.

If I need to replace the fan do you know roughly how much they are and are they easy to fit.

Thanks
