Hi Peter,
I'm delighted that you've had success with my guide to posting your photographs!
Your wiring to the Revotec looks very neat.

There was evidence of overheating where the cable entered the loom connecting plug as well. Hence my opting for what I understand is a lower consumption fan.

I can't imagine how the normal current consumption of the MG Rover fan motor could be responsible for your wiring damage as there are hundreds of them in service. Even if a short circuit had taken place within the motor it should have blown the 80 amps FL4 fuse.
I'm tempted to think that the damage was by abrasion rather than overheating particularly as the copper conductors in the black wire appear bright and clean without the blackening usually found when a short circuit occurs.
