There seems to be a plethora of part numbers for the fan switch. I'm after the number for a 2l 16v cabriolet. X86 KAC if that helps!
Thanks
What switch for what fan?
If you have AC (well, had AC!) you don't have a fan switch!
Where is it located? I've probably got one tbh
probably got one here in cullompton
Was fairly vague, I mean the fan that cools the engine, its not kicking in at all so I end up sitting in traffic sweating over the car overheating. The fans work as they have been tested by Jimbo just need to find the right part to replace!

go to a motorfactor, theyll have them for about £12 or so
see sig for o.e numbers.
There's several variants, some single and some twin speed with various different temperature options available as well.
If it's original (and some aftermarket) then it should have a coloured band on it to identify it.
The ones I can remember off the top of my head are red band is 97 (low) /102 (high) degree twin speed, purple which is 92/97 twin, and yellow which is 97 degree single speed.

Does it matter which one I buy? If they are multifit I'd rather have the Red band one but ill have a look anyway in a bit to confirm which one I need.

All the twin speed ones are interchangeable with one another and all the single speed ones are interchangeable with one another, but from memory you need to be careful swapping a twin for a single as I think that means you'd only have slow speed due to the way the wiring is done.
I think the red banded 97/102 is part number 126445.
However, looking at Servicebox it looks like 126440 is listed for the later 2.0 16v engines which is 97 degree single speed, and thus I think should be yellow banded.

Brilliant, thanks for your help
