Was like this for maybe two years, didn't seem to be doing any damage, and besides there was nothing I could do because none of the mechanics I took it to could figure out why it wasn't holding it's temperature better - and to be fair, the cause was hard to spot, because the fan did work, only it clearly wasn't working at full capacity... Recently it died completely, and since replacing it, the needle's never moved from it's usual position just left of centre. So after all the things I tried (and many posts on MX5OC etc!) it turned out to be just a weak fan.

Anyway, if yours isn't turning at all, there's no doubt that's where your problem lies! I'd say it's an easy fix too, compared to any problems with the actual coolant system.


this is a good shout. Have also seen poor wiring do the same - and remember mk.1's are well into 'classic car rules' now :handgestures-thumbup:

Can you explain where the coolant temp sensor relay is please. I have fitted three coolant switches in the last 18 months which cures the fan coming on when they are new but the last one which worked fine after fitting is now playing up after only two weeks so I am wondering if it is the relay?
