Omega 3.0 auto Elite 2000W 72k
1) Once the engine is up to normal operating temp, when stationary, the engine shakes a bit. Only a little bit, but more than I would expect from such a luxury car. It causes some of the interior fixtures to rattle a bit. Tickover is 500rpm, plus or minus a few. I've only had the Mig a few days, and I've checked the oil, oil filter and air filter and they are all new. Any suggestions where to start/what could be causing it?
2) The radiator fan (I'm assuming it's the radiator fan, as it comes on at about 90+ degrees or when I've booted it a bit(!) or sitting in traffic - and carries on going for a moment or two when I turn off the car) makes a terrible racket. Is this a relatively simple job to replace?
3) Anywhere to get my geometry sorted in or around SW London?
Thanks in advance guys

Can only answer on point 2 - this is normal operation, nothing to worry about really. Fan should cut out anywhere between 10-30 secs depending on how high temperature has been .

I should of course have added..... it shouldn't make a terrible racket but obviously does whirr a bit ! :y

Hi Fenton, Welcome to OOF.
2 & 3, no idea. Sorry.
1.
The car shouldn't rattle trim at idle in P or D. I have a section of road near me that shakes my trim to the bones (particularly auto gear stick and glove box lid) but it is particularly bumpy and then smooth elsewhere on other roads.
Have you read for fault codes? I believe you can look in the Maintenance Guide for the ''pedal'' trick to get the codes and post on here. :)
Have you checked your s.plug wells for oil? And oil in your water/mayo on your dipstick just to give you an indication of a big problem in the future?
Ps, I am no mechanic but I've learnt a lot on here :y
