No its not a good idea to leave the fans running all the time,as you can overcool the engine.Obviously fine to leave them on in slow moving traffic
It'll wear the fan out quicker, but if the stat is working properly the fan can't overcool the engine. Bigger radiator, more fans etc just gives the stat more authority.

Unless you have a modified stat as per bible (for S)

Hang on, I thought the whole point of the manual override switch was that it bypassed the thermostat? Otherwise whats the point? Therefore leaving the fan on would overcool the engine. Please correct me if I'm wrong and explain how it works. I use mine but only in traffic.
