Are you sure it's just when the car gets to normal temperature and not all the time? On my MPi, the plug connecting to the temperature sensor in the thermostat housing is a bit broken and sometimes falls off. When it does, the fan kicks in. And if I start the car with it disconnected it plays havoc with the idle as the ECU doesn't getting a correct reading from the temp. sensor.

I had the same problem,
Took the connector off the sender in the thermostat housing & cleaned with electocleaner spray & that cured the problem
