The resistor for the heater fan used to be under the bonnet under a panel that is hard up against the bottom of the windscreen (sort of). It is held on by 6 or so little bolts. Under it is (or used to be on 1991 9000s) the heater blower with the resistor kinda stuffed into the side of it, along with the windscreen wiper motor and some other bits and pieces. > > 6.
