It is an"automatic climate control system" so I guess I will have to get a new control panel (or parts of it).
Does anybody know how to determin the problem by e.g. bypassing the reostat for the fan to establish what the max speed of can be?
Gratful for any advice.
Cheers

Not too sure about the E34 control panel, but there is a very easy fix that I applied to my E36 328i, this had a similar problem which turned out to be a broken solder joint in the circuit board. BMW quoted a horrendous figure to fix, well, to replace the control unit.
I took it apart, found the joint, soldered it, it worked perfectly then.
It may be something as simple as that, I haven't worked on an E34 system, but may be worth checking out. Sorry I cant be much more of a help but just a thought.
