E36 fan speed erratic

Likely the final stage resistor. You should find fitting instructions on one of the specialist sites. Costs about 50 gbp, IIRC. I'm on the third on my E39.

Hi Dave,

Thanks very much for that, are there any sites you can recommend? Or anywhere to get the aforementioned part - do I need a new one or can I find a re-conditoined one?

Many thanks,

Jon

All mine were supplied under warranty. I'd say it's dealer only, but you might try Eurocarparts. It's not repairable IMHO

Think John Burn's site will give most of the links.

Thanks very much again! Most appreciated.

Yep, a common problem...had it myself a couple of months back. Someone here gave me this:

I followed the directions on the site for replacing the bad capacitor, and the motor's worked like a dream since!
