Thats standard mate, sometimes when you turn the engine off the temp creeps up a bit causing the fan to come on, it does go off on its own though so no need to restart it. If it doesnt go off then you may have a problem. But to me sounds normal

Hmmm seems a bit strange if its staying on for over 5 mins, usualy its 1 min max. Keep an eye on it and see if it actually goes off on its own

Whats the condition of your radiator? take a look at my old vtr thread theres some pics of mine and my fan used to stay on for about 3 -5 mins.

The fans wired up direct from the fuse box , meaning that if the temp sender on the rad switches , it pops the fan on . It nothing really to be worried about as long as the rads not buggered and there's plenty of water in the system
