How come your getting through so many fans? I run twin Spals and have had no issues at all - would recommend them to anyone

Can you elaborate on the "slowly breaking down" ?

I'd look at the wiring if thats the case.

I've had a pair of the cheapest 9" fans I've ever seen running on a seperate loom for nearly 8 years now.

The fans you have been using a fine, if they are failing regularly either they are being overused (on all the time, override switch maybe?) or your wiring needs changing.
