I have another question now - the radiator fan kicks in eventually when the car gets hot but then just keeps going. The temperature gauge then drops to the lowest level and after an hour of leaving it idling to see if it runs ok I ended up switching off the ignition and then the radiator fan stopped. Upon restarting it stayed off.

Does that sound like a fault too?

The guage dropping to the lowest level would worry me than what the fan is doing (as long as the fan cuts in when engine is hot - assume this is OK).
I would flush the cooling system with fresh anitfreeze/distilled water (50% each)-making sure that no air is trapped in the system once you have done it.

Hi,

What he says ^^

Say you had a dodgy wire then you would have no signal to the gauge - but once warmed up you get a signal - gauge shows as normal. I can understand that scenario.

But going to normal and then dropping once the fan kicked in? Sounds like the thermostat or sender may be playing tricks. Or the maybe a block or air trap in the system (so above flush would cure it)..
