Could be that the yellow and red are the wrong way round in the fan,
but then that still doesn't quite explain it.
Assuming all your wiring is correct then it sounds like a duff PCB on
the fan.

Thought about that and tried switch the Red and Yellow over. The
result was that the fan was on when the light was off and when you
switched the lights on, the fan went off - no timer. Can this be fixed
by some good old home tinkering?

It sounds like a wiring fault. Are you sure that the cables that go to the
light and lightswitch are correctly identified? If you have mixed the two up
then the fan would work as you described. Taking the bulb out when the
lights are off should let the fan do its timer run and then stop to show
this is the case. It would also mean that you are switching the neutral not
the live for the lights.
