Cheers for the replies boys. Jacko with regards to the above although the wires in the fusebox aren't burnt the fan fuse is still connected to one of the wires and when I complete the circuit the fans come on again, so aren't seized. No doubt the overall wiring needs to be changed but if I just strip the wires and solder in some fuse holders and replace the fuse will this allow the fans to start working again when I drive it as a temporary solution?
