After having a good look i found the top rad hose to be very hot but the bottom one cold.

Sorry to sound like a pleb but do you know what the viscous fan is??

Recently i've notices that the fan has been running a lot and the temp has been gradually climbing. It now sits at the 3/4 mark which is worrying me, occasiona...

Thanks guys, i think for peace of mind i'll get that lot done.
