Oil pressure switch a bit awkward but doable. Access from below engine. Fan must be faulty poss.due to a duff thermo switch.

ok thanks is the thermo switch inside the fan itself .

Electronic fan comes on via the ECU, it comes on with the aircon when stationary or when temps get to 104c as an emergency overheat fan. If the ecu is providing constant live then it might be that, I bet it's been bodged though. Could equally be a faulty ecu temp switch, it's plugged in right?

The oil pressure sender if it's an NA it's not going to be too bad, TT though there is very little room no doubt it's possible but expect to bleed.

For what its worth, I recently changed my oil pressure sender on my t/turbo Z and found it very straight forward. If you're reasonably capable with the tools it won't be a problem.

Taff has pretty much rebuilt his car by now so think changing the oil pressure sender will be a walk in the park.

Your electric fan is always on likesomone said its getting a live feed from the ecu.. the reason for this is the ecu is telling you there is a problem somwere.its the ecu s way of bringing a problem to light.yorll need to plug your car in to conzult or other to find fault.fix fault then you fan will work as norm again.this was one of the main reasons i put my one back in.it tells you theres somthing up.sort of help tool.
