   Everytime I use the car the fan and radiator come on, after I switch the car off it stays on for a while, why is this? I've checked the water and there's plenty in there, the temp gauge is all over the place it boings up and down

   Afterwards is to cool down the coolant in the rad. As for no heat out the heaters, don't jump to conclusions but I associate that with a headgasket, check for mayo in the oil cap/oil in the coolant.

   I checked and there is no mayo substance there, can't see no oil in the coolant, it's just a red liquid in there, im looking at a guide on how to bleed it all out and attempt to get rid of any air locks
