Two problems.

First the blower. If you look carefully, theres a way of turning, and lifting the blower out of its housing. Remove it, and run a 12 volt feed direct onto it to make sure it does actually respond to power. If it doesnt, you've likely got knackered brushes. You have two options:

- if you know anything about electric motors, replace the brushes (look up 'valeo+brushes' on ebay, contact the guy, identify the bower you have); but before you install the new brushes make sure you spin the armature and use a good oiled block to smooth the armature, otherwise it will wreck the brushes in 3 months again;

- if you dont, search for a new blower motor - some are being sold on this forum.

 

The second problem is solved by looking at this thread.

If you want to do it in a hurry change the following (as a probable cause):

- radiator fan switch;

- the two temp sensors at the front of the engine.
