Bad advice, that fan is not just for aircon there, it's an engine saviour too in case of overheating and i doubt that in UK the temperature never exceeds 28*C
Seen high 30s

Thanks for that graph,
From what i can understand then the fan helps with cooling over 110c normal driving, went out for a 60 mile drive today and temp gauge sat in the middle (119c) but when i stopped the fan was not on, which according to your chart it should have been.
Is there a way i can test the fan will switch on at temp please.
Thanks Bill

I said the gauge stays at the middle "up to 119" as it goes to the middle at 70*C so between 70 and 119 you never know the ECT without additional gauge... though if you want to check the fan remove relay R4 and bridge the perpendicular cavities in the fusebox with a piece of wire, if everything is OK it should start

Sorry i misread your post, can you clarify "the perpendicular cavities" please, I assume you mean the slots the relay pins go into but if it is a four pin relay there will be four slots

Yes, four slots and only two are perpendicular, there is the relay's contact, 30 - 87

Hi sorry for being dim but I understand what you mean now, by bridging 30 and 87 power will go direct to fan and it should spin, but there are three perpendicular slots not two, thats what confused me, even in your picture there are three
Aksherly, "perpendicular" only means "to a given plane" so SF is technically right.
Many think of "perpendicular" as being "vertical" as opposed to "horizontal".
Just sayin, like!

Yep dats true, what threw me was there was three pins on one plane and one on another, expected two to be on the sameAksherly, "perpendicular" only means "to a given plane" so SF is technically right.

If you apply symmetry too beside geometry you'll realise that there are two perpendicular and two parallel pins thereYep dats true, what threw me was there was three pins on one plane and one on another, expected two to be on the same
