The same thing is used on other cars including fords, I was shown one by my bodywork guy. So basically its a variable resistor via the speed control in cab.

BigAl	Posted: Fri Dec 04, 2009 7:43 pm    Post subject: resistor coil under bonnet Can someone tell me what it is for, all i know is it gets rather warm. I noticed the other day that one wire was off, would that cause any damage?
