102 -106°C = Medium
108 - 112°C = High

Equally important is that the slow speed runs continuously when the aircon system is operating, even if the coolant is below 96°C.

I think you have no issues with the coolant circulation, but double check that the V between the heads is free of coolant puddles or pink stains. These engines tend to suffer coolant loss from the plastic housing containing the thermostat.

Hiya T-Cut and thank You

I do have a coolant issue, I am in the process of fixing it, I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't the Fan causing the overheating / overpressurising of my Coolant, or at least being a part of the Symptoms. My thought being if the Coolant isn't being cooled then overpressurising / overheating will occur.

I have a wobbly Thermostat to correct and a new inlet Manifold Gasket to fit.

I will check the Aircon one later.

Happy Days lol...
