1. I conduct the hardest drive I have every driven over 1 hour of giving it almost everything (not track).
2. Since that (over a month ago), the main fan noticeably very loud and running after very little provocation when it previously would never have even run (?). Once the fan is running only 15mins of very gentle driving will coax it into turning off.
3. I've convinced myself shes running hotter but perhaps the sudden introduction of the fan into my driving experience is tricking me. Or alternatively it *is* running hotter and I've damaged the water pump (?)
I checked fluid etc and was just thinking its a broken sensor, when suddenly it started behaving normal again ? .

OooooooK......

I had loosely checked the radiator but Im now thinking something was lodged. blocking it.

Ahh well. At least it tempered the frustration of finding the children have nicked my ******* badge again.

iffy sensor can behave normally at times and then incorrectly at others. you may still have a problem, keep an eye on it.
