Please report back and put out of your head any thoughts of scrapping your Rover 75. We are here to help you fix it when your garage can't.

Hi Simon, thank you for that, obviously the last thing I want to do is scrap the car, but if the cost is going to outweigh the price I paid for the car then thats the only viable option.
The issue I have is that I had to abandon the car 5 miles from where I live, so checking things is a no go. However, the fan has been working for sure, it's even on in a video I made of the coolant leaking out of the car, which hopefully you can see here...

The fan certainly seemed to be working fine up until these issues and would kick in when the car was stopped, and like you say when the heater was on without pressing the 'auto' button, or whatever button it is called, I forget.
