The 308 Lucas cooling fans are stripped and refreshed with new brushes plus I fit the missing Spal heater blower. However, my particular year set up appears to be the first to get a two speed fan only through a resistor of some sort that is very hard to trace or get anybody who knows anything about it.
I hope you enjoy the video, please like, subscribe, and comment as I'd love to hear from you.
Please remember, I am not a trained mechanic, just a numpty with a tool set. What I do may not be the best / correct way, but I'm learning as I go.
Thanks for watching.

Hope it was useful. The brushes came from an Ebay shop, top-deals-online

Great work. The heater fan situation is a bit tricky as the setup for this changed several times. I have an early 1977 car and my heater is only an on off switch no speeds. Yours seems to be an intermediate setup between the later one wire cars and the early ones. I wish I could help with what the wiring looks like. With how far you have the front apart hopefully you can trace the wires back. If I had to guess, the resistor probably lives up near where the heater valve is by the brake booster.

Thanks. It's a tricky one, adding the jumper cable only lead to making both circuits live so think there may be more to it.
