Hi guys, really hoping somebody will be able to help out with this.
I have an intermittent issue where the radiator fan stays on after the engine in off.
Now I know they can stay on for 5/10 mins to do whatever but last November they stayed on and killed the battery... At the time the garage & the AA said I needed a new battery so I had a heavy duty one fitted and the problem was sorted.
Last night when I got home I noticed the fans were still on 20mins or so after I'd got home and the car was on the drive - so I wasn't surprised to find a flat battery this morning.
I've a 59 plate XTR, 1.6d.
Any thoughts as the garage that are normally great are saying they'll simply have to have it in for 'testing' and that they have no idea what it could be...
Thanks, David
