My automatic C3 Exclusive (60 plate) radiator cooling fan comes on even when the engine is cold and before the engine is turning. It also stays on when the ignition is switched off for up to 10 minutes. Can anybody help please?

Its probably a faulty temperature sensor in the engine but it could be a poor connection to the sensor. A diagnostic read with one of these OBD readers can be done by yourself and may give you an idea if its the sensor.

If you needs parts, like the sensor, try this link to ECP (here) where you can find parts by reg no or model no.
