That's why I haven't heard any fan switching on/off then --
haven't had the aircon on since collecting the car back.
Just been out again and the temp needle didn't even flicker from its half position -- didn't push it though, Saturday afternoon shopping traffic in and around southeast London. Tried with heater on full too (negligable heat output)
What I did notice just now though was a slight moisture weep from around the new coolant resovoir's cap. Didn't realise that much torque has to be applied to ensure a seal there. Had a look as fluid escapes from resovoir's undone bleed screw -- there were a few, just a very few, very very tiny bubbles coming up in that. My mechanic has offered to check with his kit to see whether they are combustion gasses or not. There's no mayonnaise on dip stick or filler cap. Guess this coolant's too new (just over 100 miles) to tell yet?
But today's last trip back from Crayford to home (12 miles) did give me the temp gauge once slowly creaping up to beyond the ¾ mark before falling back fast to ½ again, then staying there
