When out at the weekend I noticed that the tempetature readings on the pod were more errativce than usual and that the engine temp appeared to be higher than normal before the fans kicked in. When I got home I found that both fans were cutting in at exactly the same time and that this appeard to be somewhere between 94 and 96. Previously the first fan has always cut in at 92 and the second at 96.

I was thinking that this may be due to a fauly sensor - but this would only affect one fan?

Any thoughts as to the cause would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure if they share any common wiring but if so might one be causing the other to activate?

The plugs for these are perfectly placed to catch water running down the bonnet and corrode on a regular basis. One of mine wasn't cutting in and the terminals were pretty cruddy. TVR Power replaced them with some really clever connectors that came in several parts and involved crimping onto the end of the wires, feeding through rubber blocks which were then inserted into a plastic block and then clicked together. Overkill maybe but they looked like they'd be waterproof down to a couple of hundred feet.
