ok, Fiesta Turbo running hot? I need some questions answered to give you a meaningful answer!
does the fan ever come on?
how does it run if only doing between 60 an 70 down the motorway late at night or very early morning?
Is is running standard (130bhp),has it has a t3 conversion?
They do run a little hot as standard, it is a big engine for the size of under bonnet space! and it is turbocharged!
Also has the cooling system been looked at in the last 5 years ?

Hey, it runs alright on the motor way, sitting about mid temp on gauge, I am lead to believe its standard bhp, (the bloke I brought of wasn't that helpful)
I have changed the cooling fluid n looks alright, no cracks or leaks. Just mainly when sitting in traffic of town driving it gets hotter..

OP, when you say you had it idling, was that from a cold start?
Check what has been said as well as the fan fuse, but back to the original question you will know if the A/C is working or not, regardless of the fan?

ok, I may sound stupid (but please remember I'm new to this.. hehe) the fan is at the front of the car, in front of the inner cooler. As I have been looking around on other models, the inner cooler is at the front with fan behind. Will this make much of a difference...
really appreciate all and any help...

on fiesta's there is a know problem with the fan! you need to check the relay and the fuse! the normal givaway for this problem is that the reverse light doesn't work either!
The relay in question is the GREEN one!
I have used water wetter and found that helps (makes the cooling system more efficient).
Also check the thermostat is working properly, and it is the correct one.
My toy is a bit over cooled now! so I don't normally have to worry about that anymore!
