A feasible diagnoses which would cause the issues you describe as would cut your fan in before your car reaches operating temperature and explain why your bottom hose is tepid
Temperatures can easily checked by using a infra red thermometer and would confirm temperatures around the system and are a useful addition to any toolbox .

With the above diagnoses you have to now try a temperature sender unit and I'm sure Simon will help source and fit one
