fan stays on after ignition turned off wtf????

[glenn82]

i have d1 v8, after turning off the iginition you can hear the fan still running. is this normal? it has been getting a little hot, not over half way though.

last time i waited 5 mins and it didnt turn off so i took out the 30am fuse from under the bonnet. then replaced it and the fan stopped.

this hasnt happened b4 onlt twice in last 2 days,just want to be sure.

thanks

yep fans will run until,,,

after warming up,, if the temp guage moves AT ALL,,(should sit halfway)
there is something wrong

As pedro said, they will run until the engine cools down, i wouldnt worry. Be more worried if it doesnt come on at all

I'd be working out why it's done it.

when mt TD5 did it, the radiator was full of mud.

It's common but 5 minutes does seem like a long time. I'd say it's worth looking into.

well i have decided to do rad flush and also replace thermostat and gasket just to be sure.

is there like a breather valve or somthing to get a potential air lock out? on a lr?
i know commodores etc have.

On the D1 I filled when changing the coolant I filled the system through the actual radiator filler hole on top drivers side of the radiator - and also filled the overflow tank. On the D1 this filler hole can be used to bleed the system.
