So, hopefully someone can help me, it's kinda urgent as I'm running out of temp insurance for the retest now. 
Bought the above car to fix and sell, so far it's been easy fixes, however it failed MOT today.
1. Emissions not tested - engine fan won't come on so temp was rising.
Fan spins up with a direct 12v but I can't get it to work on the car. Doesn't even come on with the AC though the AC still works fine (odd I know!). Checked fuses and relay, both good (swapped for others as well). Any idea where the temp sensor is on the 1.4? Also is it only one sensor on these as the gauge reads perfectly.
2. Rear brake imbalance - I f*cking hate drum brakes. They always cause me issues! Anyone know how easy these ones are to strip down? Are they bolted or are they the horrible interference bearing style like 306 ones?
Oh and I really need to fix this tonight or early tomorrow morning if possible! (Ideally no hammering ).
Cheers
Tom
