On mine the fan did fail.
When my temps started to go up I called the dealer and they told me to turn on the AirCon. Apparently the AC turns on the main fans so you hear them. If they don't come on then you have an issue. I was told if the ambient air temp is modest and you have a free run to the dealer with no stops of any significance airflow over the rad when driving is okay to get it back. It worked.
Second win was that I finally found a use for the fairly useless Air/Con! Other than burning even more petrol

Sounds like lots of things to check for the dealer. Let’s hope one of them solves the issue and doesn’t point to the dreaded control unit death. I know what you are saying Nick but I’ve been persisting for 3 years now so had enough and as soon as this is sorted it will be going into Revolutions on a SOR. Someone will get a car that has had a lot of work done to it mechanically and with my luck will probably have no issues forever more.
Can I ask if these control units are a weak point on all versions of the Aero or is it just the S1?

Phew! Turns out it was a bad earth which was causing intermittent failure of the fan with the wiring worn. Now replaced and working.

Certainly was. My last bill was a small one for a change and the next owner has a working control unit.

Certainly was Nick. It is up for sale and I’m looking at other options but was so relieved I was considering a series 4 that was up for sale at Bell and Colvill if they could say it didn’t use the dreaded control units but found out today it had already sold after only a few days and they didn’t know if it had control unis anyway. So the hunt goes on!
