I would like to hear more about this...  As I mentioned in the original 
thread, when the fan kicks on the car died.

I assumed that the hot line was grounding out and killing the car, are 
you suggesting that all of the power to the ignition and the fan is 
supplied though this relay?

There is no fuse or breaker in line with the fan (that I saw this 
morning in my quick examination of the wires before work).  The line 
that fried is connected to the hot brown line in the harness, so I guess 
there could be one further up the line, but I haven't gotten that far yet.

I was planning on getting a relay and other bits locally tonight to get 
things running again.  This one is available and appears to match the 
requirements:

I can later replace it with another mountable UK one.
