Fan doesn't work...

My fan has stopped working on my Xantia

It works until I start the engine, when it cuts out and refuses to restart. Stopping the engine, removing the key, putting the key back in and moving back to the pre-ignition stage restores the fan, until I start the engine and it stops. The rear screen heater is similary affected.
How much is this going to set me back

Before you replace the ignition switch (probable cause), try spraying some WD40 through the ignition keyhole.
My Xantia had a similar problem with the fan/rear screen working intermittantly, and the ignition key getting hot, a few years ago.
I sprayed in some WD40 and its worked fine ever since.
