ok so i changed all the fuses and relays

i checks the biton unit, that was perfectly intact and all pins where beauitful

when i turn ac on both fans come on

when car reaches 110 degress both fans come on

this is doing my head in lol


In that case the brown plug is to blame.
Not a big deal to change, not much coolant loss, and isn't utterly expensive ~30 pounds.

No, normally should be dry. It goes into the thermostat housing and there is coolant there, but that shouldn't leak (normally)

Don't rule out that it could be the two problems at the same time.
So you have done no harm - changing the fans is the harder exercise in this case but eventually may be needed.
Bon courage Smile

Bumper off, lamps out, we even took the slam panel off for better access and the rad was tilted towards the engine.

Not really.
Don't get me wrong but I think it may be time to get a Haynes manual?
These things are pretty well explained and illustrated. Also "available" in digital formats Smile
