    Default W reg Citreon Xsara overheating

    Pretty much as title. Not really had any probs, topped up radiator today and on way to Tescos in stop go traffic it got warm and warning lights came on. Stopped in garage straight away and had little look. Now the fans on the rad weren't going which struck me as odd so had a look to see if the fuses had gone and they hadn't (well the one I thought it should be).

    Any advice?

    could be head gasket (hope not!!) check yer oil, see if it a bit milky/not as dark as it should be!

    yeah did worry about that but checked oil when I topped up coolant etc and no sign of water in there. Hopefully its just the fans, but was wondering if anyone knew of a way to test them - or even easily get at them?

    Theres a relay at the back of the grille that controls the fans m8 that might be worth investigating.

    It runs fine as long as I can maintain speed ie there is air over the radiator. Will have a look at relay tomorrow - you mean just by the rad?
