And no need to remove condenser, just bumper cover and some supports.

Weasel,
Thanks, found it. I was getting into TIS by entering the last seven numbers/letters of my VIN. This would then bring up a r/h drive, 2005 diesel specific to my exact car. For some reason, the auxiliary cooling fan and condensor are not mentioned here. I found it by entering TIS without using a VIN, but by entering a generic specification and looking from there. The fan is quite an involved job. As you said, and I suspected, the whole front of the car has to be removed to get at the mounting screws.
My car is in at the dealers, as I type, for it's scheduled service. I have asked them to check it out, as I believe they can check/manually run the fan through the diagnostic computer. Haven't heard back from them, so am wondering what they have found. Will let you know.
Thanks again,
Colin.
