   Yesterday after driving the car after it'd been sat around for a few days, i parked, got out, turned the engine off and the fan(?) i assume it was the fan to cool the engine was still going for about maybe 2-3 minutes and was very loud.
   
   Could this be a problem or is there anything I should check?

   Same thing happened to me. I turned it on, took it for a good blast. Engine Off. Locked the door. Just walking away and the fan just started roaring. I crapped my pants. Then I waited about 2 minutes and it switched off :/ I guess its normal! Either that or we're both screwed

   mine always does it when turned off or sometimes stopped on idle for a minute or so, just the fan doing its job

   Nothing to worry about guys, all saxos do it.
   
   It just cools the engine down.
