Thanks Smokey - good man. Is it near the battery?

No, they go to the right hand side (as you look at it or passenger side) fog light box.

As it's not within the engine bay, I thought that that may be a misleading description, but I guess so. It's behind the slam bar, behind the bumper.

Perfect - Cheers guys!! It will be the weekend again now for me before I can look..... Can you access if car is on ramps or does the bumper need to come off?

If you have access to a ramp then the front bumper doesn't have to come off. There is a little access panel underneath to fit the sensor.

Update.....
Right.... I've had a weekend of testing and trying to solve this problem.

I have tested the fan... It works fine.

I have tested the internal temperature sensor and the atc unit itself by using (mark s's) spares.... (Cheers).

I haven't yet been able to test the resistor pack so it seems that it must be this, however...... The blowers do come on intermittently....

So the next question is would the blowers still work intermittently if the resistor pack had actually failed or is it just failing? Orrrrr could it be something else?

Cheers

These mk2 180 ATC resistor pack really are a pain in the backside. I feel for you as I am having similar issues.

What do you mean by intermittently? Does the fan goes fast, slow, fast, slow when you switch it on?

Indeed! Thank you..... Same to you!

The problem I have is that I have no fans whatsoever for 95% of the time.... Every now and again the fans come on for a bit and then just go off again!

I was hoping to ascertain as to wether it is definitely this damn resistor pack or if it could be something else?!?!
