Hi Tracey,
See Martin's post about the hot start problem.
As for your fan, They can go wrong and run in reverse! Don't ask
me why but they do. I would order a new fan motor from DMUK or
one of the vendors in the states.
If your stuck drop me a email and bring the car down to Peterborough
have a coffee with us and I will put the new fan in for you.
A sunday will be best. (busy this weekend though)
Best Regards
Nick H
