#I know this is the wrong type of vehicle for this forum but the principles are the same here's a couple of things that are going on:
burst hose that feeds heater matrix
replaced this and refilled coolant
ran engine for approximately an hour but only reaches 90 degrees idoling
driving the car temp goes up to 100 to 105 degrees(is this high)?
garage has had it for 3 days but cant find the problem
fan apparently working under voltage
also I would imagine they checked the thermostat and relay fuses etc

any hints to get this working maybe I should put a manual switch for this#
have just got the fault codes
1482 :P1482 SCP#
1483 :P1483 Power To Fan Circuit Overcurrent
and either P1514 High Load Neutral/Drive Fault
or P1614 SBDS Interactive Codes
btw two wires were resting against one of the belts with two wires have been cut into
thanks all

I would suggest a different garage. I'm not sure of the normal running temperatures of this car, but it does sound sensor related.
