A_m - thanks for the information, in your experience is it worth trying to source a replacement module or how effective is it worth trying to fool the system?

Any idea on the excessive fan noise as it driving me bonkers! Or should I spend more time at Gatwick and get used to the noise in the longer term?

I would try to fool the system first and see how long that lasts before you get into the same position. If it is weeks rather than months then it is probably worth changing the module

Hi everyone, thought I would provide an update. Pleased to say that all problems now fixed, courtesy of juice from a new Bosch Silver and a replacement coolant fan / control unit purchased from the forum sponsors! I must say the service provided by Maria at Prestige was fantastic! Good work!
