Hi
Where on earth (or on the engine) is the temp sensor placed?
Do I have to take the engine lid of? Can I get to it from the back (excuse me :P )
Any picture?
Radiator fan don´t start....

The two coolant sensors are at the back of the engine to the left of the exhaust manifold.(looking from the rear of the car).
First check the fuse hasn't blown. The fan can get semi-seized through lack of use and pops the 15a fuse.
An acceptable method is to use a 20 amp replacement fuse.(In the underbonnet fusebox)

Check the fan is rotating freely.

Fuse blow, checked voltage in relay socket , new fuse -OK, checked the relay, coil in relay broke (0 ohm).
stripped relay, put relay in place, with finger closed relay, blower started at full power!
I think You are right with sticking fan, it really needed a push to wake alive as car newer stopped in
a traffic jam.
New relay in order from GB-EB.
Thanks :broon:
