For getting the fan replaced you could try Manchester Repair Cafe:
http://www.stitchedup.coop/event/manchester-repair-cafe/all/
Next meeting is 10am-noon today! (11:30am is last repair start)
After that it is the morning before SFD2016 in Manchester:
"Saturday, September 17, 2016 at 10:00 am - 12:00 pm"
Also could try HACMan?
