Thanks everyone. 
I  think that I got too focused on the fact that the radiator fan kicked in early and saw some posts with the same symptoms. 
I will go back to basics and start with resetting the sensor then change this...


Hopefully this will resolve the problem.

Our insurance went up has gone up 50% just because we had changed the wheels! (I did it last year but forgot to tell them 7.png)

The m.o.t is due and we have a problem. 
Problem is that the car starts and runs fine but after the initial warm up the revs seem to hang at 1k and the radiator fan cuts in really early. 
I have had a search around and it seems to point to a problem with the coolant temperature sensor. 
Is this the most likely cause or could it be a stuck thermostat?

Our F was the only car that my better half has ever expressed a interest in. I really wasn't sure but after that 1st test drive I was hooked. 
14 years later and still loving our car.

So far I have done the floor pans, behind the seats,behind the dash but the biggest difference has to be the doors. 
Instead of a rattle it "clunk's " and makes it sound like a different car.

I fitted the sound deadening to the inner door skin and it makes a huge difference.
