Pull the rear bonnet rubber seal off, and you'll see where the panel starts and ends.
Held in place by four 7mm self tappers, plus assorted wiring/brackets fitted to it.

looked at it today and the fan was seized managed to free it with some wd40 it now works but only on position 4 but it also sounds like its struggling and cuts out then starts again...so it looks like a new motor.......
