to test your temp gauge, look on the side of the engine just below the oil filter and you\'ll see the oil pressure switch.... a big round thing with a wire going to it! Behind this, screwed into the block, is water temp sender no.1
Pull the wire off it ( the yellow and white one)and earth it onto the engine block or body... the gauge should go to max.... the other water sender ( no.2) is by the thermostat housing on the top of the water pump housing.... this second sender controls the auto choke return.

Put another fan belt on it and stick another spare in the boot.... if it shreds again, your viscous fan is knackered....

you\'ve probably got the dreaded viscous fan woes then if the cars been off the road for a while... they hate inactivity!!
You could try freeing off the actuator pin on the front of the viscous coupler but if that doesn\'t work, bin it and put an electric fan on... miles better and it\'ll release a bit more power too.
