I've just done a HG on a 2001 freelander and ran it up to temperature until fans kicked in once id completed the job. I do exactly the same on mine and they're not kicking in. I'm definitely letting it get hot enough, i don't want to be spending all this money for no reason, I don't know what...

Ok I've changed the coolant fan relay module, and the coolant temp sensor and the relay in the fuse box but still no fans kicking in, I've got the updated expansion tank an have checked temperature with a lazer thermometer and the fans still aren't cutting in. There's a guy on eBay selling an...

No I didn't change the bracket but I'm gonna order one now. Cheers.

If everything turns out to be fine with your battery, then have a look at the starter motor, they are prone to this problem. The earth is connected by a spade connecter which can work its way loose, if you take it off and clean the earth terminal up with a bit of emory cloth then give the spade...

Is there any ? ? on my freelander i have to push quite hard on the clutch to select gears so i changed the master/slave cylinder but its exactly the same. I know the clutch is good as its not long been done. Its almost as if i need an extra inch of push on the pedal. IT feels like theres slight...

Thanks Nodge and Diesel for your comments. The next step im gonna take is to put all the wiring back as it was then, run the car up and check the temp is definitely high enough for the fans to kick in. Then im gonna try a new coolant temp sensor and a cooling fan relay module box and an air...

Ha ha yeah probably.

do you think its ok to drive it without the fans kicking in for fairly short distances like 10 miles ?

ive got a coolent temp sensor and directly underneath that theres another sensor but theres nothing plugged into it. someone told me that the one underneath is the sensor to tell the gauge what the temp is but my temp gauge is working fine without anything being plugged into that one.. The...

So do you think im ok to drive the car even if the fans arent kicking in ? The last thing i wanna do is cook my hg, i have held the revs at 2000 rpm with the car stationary but they just never kicked in. Also do you think that the aircon not coming on could be a problem ? because ive been told...

this is gonna sound stupid but how can i tell ? also wouldnt the light go on inside the car still ?

also, my air con doesnt work. When i press the button the light doesnt come on, ive checked the fuse which seems to be fine. Could this be related in any way ? cheers.

how many miles drive to you think it would take for the fans to kick in on a summers day for an example ?

what about the relay module ? its definitely got on of them because i got the part number off it, so i could find one on ebay ? If my boss actually had the time to look properly into whats up with my car then im sure he could get to the bottom of it, but hes always too busy, thats why im...

when my boss plugs in my car it says theres an ecu fault, and the guys i bought the car off said there was and gave me the cooling switch/sensor to fit into the bottom rad pipe.. Also id like to think that i wasnt letting the car get hot enough for the fans to cut in but when ive worked on...
