I thought I would provide an update. Upon further investigation coolant was found in the V of the engine due to a leak in one of the pipes close to the thermostat. A thermostat kit was purchased from Rimmer Bros and so far, the problem appears to have gone away. It will slowly reach 100 degrees in heavy stop start traffic and the fan cools it to 94 quickly. Normal operating temperature is in the region of 89 to 93. Fingers crossed it continues to behave.
