edit: does anyone know how to undo the bolts on fuel filter? the filter looks as old as the car(litrally!), so i am presuming they are ceased in!
hello m8, welcome to hell LOL
your not too far from me, im in peterlee
fan not cutting in could be the fan switch, but how do you know its just not getting hot enough???? best thing to do would be to sort the gauge first to see how hot its actually getting.
temp gauge not working could be the temp sensor????
If you unplug the wire off the temp sensor (on cylinder head) and touch the wire directly onto a metal part of the head (or another earth) the temp gauge should shoot all the way to the top, if it does, the clocks etc are ok and it will prob just be the sensor that will need replaced.
