I knew the blower itself was on its last legs, and the resistor was probably knackered as well. Ordered a new resister and blower Monday afternoon. Arrived this morning ... from Pheonix Arizona .. in just over 2 days!!!! Thats 5100 miles away
Pulled the old resister pack off today and was met with this:

Yeah .. that will do it.
All I can say is I am impressed with Rockauto the supplier.
