Default thermostat??

i have 2 questions really:

1) why arent you out in the sun!!!???

and 2)i think my thermostat is knackered - its on a 4x4 cossie and when iv been drivin for a while the fans are nearly continuously going,also the temp gauge reads just above halfway.how can i tell the thermotwat is working without taking it out??there is hot water coming from the 'stat but as soon as it enters the rad it is stone cold.i think the heat is just getting there by convection(if that is the correct term)any ideas people??cheers in advance matt
