Hello! Yeah I checked the coolant level in the rad yesterday and it was full to the brim. I also checked the fan was free by spinning it by hand through the grate and it was ok.

I didn't check the fan was running as I never got abover 91degC and I don't think it cuts in until 98degc? I'll try and remember to look tonight?

So as the temp remained ok I'm assuming there was a temporary flow problem maybe due to the bent rad. I've a new one on route now so hopefully I won't experience the issue again once replaced.
