So just a case of re-earthing, and then checking the thermostat?.. Any clues as to where it is?..

Does yours have AC? If so, i unplug the brown sensor on the thermostat housing with the engine running. If the fans dont kick in on full speed after a few seconds, you need a new Bitron fan controller

Tried that, and still nothing Sad, but also, checked the thermostat.. And correct me if I'm wrong, but there's part of it missing? Lol

Oh and forgot to add, the ac still works lol

In which case mate, you need a new bitron fan controller.

Thats what you need but its far too expensive!! Ring round some scrappies and you should be able to pick one up for about £20. It lives under the inner wing under the near side headlight. Bit fiddly to replace. Have to take out the arch liner then you can get to it.
