It's completely normal for the radiator fan to cycle on and off when idling - there is a sensor that reads the temperature of the coolant at all times and if the coolant gets hotter than a set level the car switches the fan on until the temperature of the coolant goes below the threshold, after which the fan is turned off. There is no need for the fan to run at all times unless it is specifically needed, such as when crawling in traffic on a hot day, but on an open road at usual driving speeds the airflow through the grille at the front of the car is enough to keep the coolant cool enough and the fan is not used. As others have said, if the car is fitted with Aircon and this is switched on (provided the a/c still actually works that is) the radiator fan will run most of the time, regardless of the temperature of the engine coolant. This is because on models with a/c there are two radiators, one behind the other at the front of the car, the coolant radiator which is the larger one closer to the engine, and the a/c condenser radiator located in front of the coolant radiator, towards the grille side of the car. The a/c must have the condenser being cooled at all times when it is running, so the cooling fan runs all the time, until the a/c is turned off again (provided the a/c is still functional)

That'll be the wife. AKA as the federal government.

Striking is the term that I would use. I really like it.

Beautiful. The whole car looks much sharper and the seats look very comfy. 👍
