Re: COOLING FANS
Stop shouting
Both fans should run together (low and high speeds), check relays behind the grille.

Re: COOLING FANS
If you have checked the relays and fuses, see if the fan is stiff or has a tight spot, unplug the brown plug next to the water outlet hose with the engine running, this will switch both fans on. Now whack the middle of the fan with a screwdriver handle a couple of times, if it hiccups keep whacking it until it spins on it's own. With luck it will spin up to full speed, leave it on full speed for a few minutes. This may or may not work for you...........it worked for me and is still working!
