vauxhall corsa 1997 1lt 12v , engine will cut out when fan comes on , but not all the while , temperature gauge will reach half way , fan can come on 2 or 3 times no problem then on other occasions just as the fan is about to come on you will hear a clicking noise then the engine will cut out .oil and water levels are fine , engine will always restart

theres a few things that could cause this. possibly a fault with the battery or alternator - the fan will take a boost of power when it starts and if there isnt enough electric for the fan and engine to fire then it will stall. taken it to a battery centre and get it checked, they should be able to check the alternator too. also if you have changed your air filter for an after market (performance) one, as these are usually less restricive therefore when the fan starts, it will be blowing the hot air into the air inlet which could cause it to stall.
