The cooling fan is going... I think that means a cooling problem and for safety the engine runs the fan, maybe a blocked thermostathe, or something with tha airco, you better go to your local dealer, he can read it out with an engine check computer...

Hi Del,

The fault code is 21 temp sensor and will cost you £27, I have just replaced this in my car.

Del boy the sensor you are looking for is under the inlet manifold by the turbo heat shield it's a bit of a ****** to fit. After fitting you will need to erase the fault code, disconnect the battery for about two hours this will do it. Also coolant will leak from where you take the sensor so have the new one ready to go in.
