Thanks Woody - does that mean there are two fans at the rear of the radiators? I know there is one for the engine bay

Please don't spend $300 on the radiator brackets. I sell them for $10 each. Guessing shipping to the UK would be $50-75

There is only one fan for each radiator. The resistor simply reduces the amount of current reaching the fan motor to create the "low speed", thus when the resistor fails, full current is continuously sent to the radiator fan and it always operates at high speed only. If one of the radiator fan resistors fails, the other side is typically not far behind.

The engine compartment fan is completely different.
