We have a 2006 ford focus 1.6 tdci LX, fully serviced and well maintained. I would like to know if there are any reported or known faults with the radiator fan . The problem is it seems to kick in all the time in regular normal driving conditions, although its not heard when driving when we pull up and get out of the car the cooling fans running.

Any suggestions or remidies apprieciated
