Default Why does my car only have one fan?

MY '98 UK car.

And yet I've just been looking at a thread in which someone showed a pic of a 97 UK car with TWO????

Is it worth me sourcing another? The connector is there under the radiator.

I've fitted FMICs to two of my cars and ditched the 2nd fan - never noticed a difference tbh. Does your fan struggle to cool things when it does come on?

The aircon thing would explain it.
