There were some posts on this recently, I think by Johnfoss.
They are not cheap, you'd be better off getting a pair from a breakers. One of mine has failed, I've got to get down the scrappy. Mine's a P-reg tubby too.

Just did mine the other day on my V6, managed to get a set of fans off ebay for £60. I think that the stealer quoted me £80 each + VAT................lol

It's not a hard job to do just be ready for some pain against the condenser.

Are you sure it's the fans, could be the bitron unit, relays or temp sender. I have a spare set of relays if you want them to try

No idea, sorry........i would have thought that all the 406's with a/c would have used the same 2 fan system. I supposed if you could wire it correctly then any car fan would work.

My fans had a single multi plug to each
