The connector on the right normally has 4 pins. Just get a piece of wire and bridge it between the 2 opposite pins. Trial and error to get the correct 2. Only a 50% chance you'll get it wrong first time so shouldn't take long lol.

i`m thinking something that sends the signal to the rad as gone , i presume one of the wires around the stat is a switch to the rad, but like i said i disconnected them all .

Wrong again.

Your engine has to run at an operating temperature that works.
To cold and it will not let the oil or water up to operating temp, therefor having premeture engine wear.

Take the plug from the aircon lines and plug it back in.

Check all the connectors atr the thermostat housing.
Im sure if one of them is off, the fan will be on all the time.

I corected you the other day with information you gave out wrong.

Your car will never be at the optimum operating temp, therefor premature engine wear.

no dan mate lol, rory seems to have a pop everytime i say something.. well thats how he makes it out to be lol.. he originally started when i said the fuel and ignition table specs of a uni chip wouldnt be that good especailly compared with other ecu's.. thats all lol.. :)

and i cant honestly see how much difference a fan is going to make when your doing 50/ 60 / 70 mph with that speed of air hitting your rad whilst driving.. just my opinion though.. of course lol

the prob with the fan running is it makes the warm up time longer making that time where the oil isnt upto correct temp longer aswell, thats all really, nothing devastating but long term your engine isnt gonna last as long

could be the rad fan switch ,or a bad earth on the thermo housing,when i say bad earth have you changed the thermo housing bolts ,i changed mine to a shorter bolt after rouding one of ,it took me 6 months to fix the problem,as the bolts earth of the engine


this is the fan switch marked with the red circle in the picture ,if you can get in contact with sxturbo(Ricky)he will give you a after market part number ,only costs a couple of quid from a motor factors and that should sort it ,hope that helps mate
