The auxiliary fans in front of the radiator . . . only one is powered by 12 Volts, the other is run from the first by a little belt. Mine broke so only one fan worked. Took me awhile to discover the cause, then I replaced the belt. The fans themselves were fine.

If you have not already changed the power steering fluid, do it. Mine was black with age and the power steering suffered as a consequence. There is no factory spec for this service and, even though my car was dealer-serviced for 200,000 miles, they had never done it. Ditto for the final drive.
