Anyway it has a few small issue which I wonder could iget a bit of advise on??
1. Front blower isn't working
2. Coolant fan is always on. Chap we bought "Freddie Cruiser" from said it just needs a replacement sensor??
Any advice/Help??

Humm OK, well front blower fan probably needs cleaning and the speed control resistor pack has thermal fuses built in that often blow due to the fan blocking up with water first link is to a series of images showing cleaning the fan out;

Below is the resistor pack with popped thermal fuseses, which can be soldered back, try to use the original solder rather than fresh where possibile;

The radiator fans may be on because air con. is switched on ?

Thank you for the info. I'll give that a go. Could you advise where the speed control resistor pack is located?
Thank you

The probes are in the socket where the module plugs in;
