That explains it. You should have a metal fan. The blades are probably too long. It isn't a multi blade Mini fan is it? If it is then the blades are the wrong way round and it is trying to blow air back through the radiator.

Where did the plastic one come from - and how many blades does it have ? Normal Minor engine is fine with just the standard single bade (ie two arms) metal fan.

It may be a Marina fan - but really not necessary. Just fit the single blade metal fan !
