   hi peeps. i have a problem with my temperature gauge when i start my car my temperature goes up slowly as normal like it should do and when it gets just a little bit over half way the fan kicks in and all is still good. then 2 minutes later the temperature light comes on then when i switch off my engine the fan will not stop at all any help thanks.

   Sounds like you obviously have a problem with the cooling system. Try the following...
   
   1. Replace the coolant
   2. Flush out the cooling system
   3. Make sure there's no air lock in the system
   
   The fan is supposed to stay on after you switch off the car btw...

   It`ll only carry on working if the temperature is still high.
