My low speed fans dont come in at all, only high speeds (so it sounds like the car is about to take off) but which relay do i need to replace to solve this issue ?

right hand one may well be dead, or the relays as Ash suggested.

It could possibly be the fan itself.

The fans run in series at low speed and in parallel at high speed.
That means if one fan is broken, none work at low speed. However the one remaining good fan still works on high speed. Yes

Im hoping its just the relays, but knowing my luck with cars i wouldn't be surprised if the fan's dead. Will report more later Thumbs up

The fan isn't hard to change at all, so don't panic if it turns out that it is the fan which needs replacing. Wink

Peugeot wanted 28 quid per relay.

As long as the pins are in the correct place and they are the correct rating, they will work fine.

Yeah I had a quick look but couldn't find ones that were the same.

I'm probably going to get a Revotec controller or something anyway

I tried Allparts, Eurocarparts and Jayar car parts and none of them stocked them, and yeah Peugeot wanted £60 for the three, A5 salvage near me have the fans but not the relays No

If i find relays at a decent price i'll be sure to let you know Smile

Will the relays be the same as those in a 1.4il 306 round about the same age?
