I have noticed on my 1996 916 that the fan does not cut in until the water reaches 210, whereas Haynes says it should start at 197.

When I get time I'm planning to remove the fan sensor and test it in pan of water on the cooker, to see if it's at fault or if the temp guage is wrong?

No news yet, the electrician has not been able to come round yet. Bought a new expansion tank from Ducati Leeds today and he advised that i renew my fan thermostat and also that my electrical problem could be the wiring around the starter relay. Had a look around it and could not see any damage,could the afaulty fan thermostat be causing the fuse to blow?

in a short answer yes.
Have you looked at your official hanbook wiring diagram for the bike, because the one i have here shows a 15A fuse at that location, yet you said you had a 20A one fitted ?

yes mate looking at my Haynes manual now and it says 20a and 5a fuses.Gotta wait until saturday for my replacement fan thermostat to arrive.
