Hi,
Are you talking about the two electric cooling fans in front of the radiator?
As these are for A/C cooling fans, and switch on/off with refrigerant pressure.
Your engine cooling is done by the engine mounted fan, the A/C fans can be called upon to cool the engine but that is only when the engine reaches in excess of 100 degrees.
If the new fan unit looks similar to this one in the pic, then it is as I said the A/C one and is in the same position on your 208, this pic is a 202, (208 is just a 2dr 202 afterall).

The controller CU is just behind the front bumper towards the passenger side.

Is the fan running all the time

No mate when I turned the ignition on the fan would stop spinnig at full speed, I did as you suggested today. I pulled the sam unt out and, as you said there was water sitting at the bottom of the box. So I got the misses's Hairdryer out and dried out the box and also the sam unit and fingers crossed it has cured the problem. you are a top bloke thankyou for your help
