Tony,
Its
sounds like the otter switch....in the engine bay. Standing at the
back of the car looking forward, down the left side of the engine is an alloy
water pipe, ( it leads up to the large hose that goes to the water
pump).....anyway.....if you look in the middle of the alloy pipe (preferably
from under neath) you will see a little round switch inserted into the
pipe...the otter switch..this should have 2 wires leading to it. Its function is
to pass a current at about 90 degrees C, to turn the fans on. It may have stuck
shut. To test it, switch your ignition on ( air con off) and see if your fans
run from cold..they shouldn't.....if they do, pull off one wire from the otter
switch and they should go off. If not it must be a stuck relay further downthe
line. New otter switches are available, Dave tells me that the German club have
some that switch on about 75 not 90 C , which sounds a better idea to
me.
