Hi Mike
Go to the relay compartment. On the lower left hand side (front right in
the car's perspective) there's a blue socket. This should have 2 or
three wires in it instead of a relay. If you have the blue fan fail
module, this is most likely the culprit. Otherwise it may well be the
relay next to it, which drives the fans and is not really strong enough
to be reliable (esp after 20 years!). Both of these are fixed by the
FanZilla and/or John Hervey's FanFix. (or a bit of creative re-wiring
and a hoffing big relay etc etc.)
Actually it's worth pointing anyone to the article by Darryl Tinnerstet
in the first edition of the 'Zine here
ftp://dmcnews.com/pub/zine001.pdf
Apart from being a very good tech article on re-wiring the fans to have
individual relays, it includes a very useful layout diagram of all the
relays. I refer to it regularly.

Next day, I went out.... the fans kicked on at 218 or so, and when
the air was on, the fans came on....
