You'll have to cut the old fan connector off and join the wires to the wires from the new fan.

thought that mate, but whats the story with the 3 wires, i imagine one is positve + feed, are the other two just a negitive and earth or are they to do with the two speeds, possibly set by a different value resistor for each (lower value faster speed) or am i talking rubbish lol.

one earth and two lives, one live for each fan speed.  I think people generally just hook up the low speed to the slim line fan since they are single speed.

buy a haynes manual and read the wiring diagrams (or download a PDF copy of the manual from bit torrent/limewire etc... if you don't mind a hooky copy).
