First time this has happened.....
I noticed tonight the fans were running when I fired the car up, I didn't think anything of it. I noticed the water temp didn't get above 50*c on the gauge on a 7/8mile run. Then noticed the fans were running when I got to my destination.
About 15mins later I attempted to start the car to come home, but it just cranked over rather fast but didn't fire at all. (I think the fans were running)
I tried again and gave the throttle a press, like you would do in a carburettor car and it fired up and then ran ok, apart from the fan issue.
How I've read on here it can be a number of things but does anyone have any suggestions on which to go for first?
I've read it could be a sticking thermostat (guess this can happen at anytime), causing the car to go into a "safe mode"
Also read it could be a coolant temp sensor?
Fan resistor near the radiator, although I've not been anywhere near it so I doubt its that?
