Starting up a Magna

When I went to restart my Mitsubishi Magna after driving to the local shop it was very hard to start, and when I got home I noticed coolant coming out of it. When I lifted bonnet the radiator fan was not working. What is the problem?

It’s likely that it has overheated for some reason, which would explain why it was hard to restart and the coolant loss. The thermo fan won’t run if the ignition is not switched on, so check that before assuming it’s a problem with the fan. If the fan isn’t working as you say it could be a problem with the fan motor or a relay that’s failed and preventing power getting to the fan.
