C25XE running temp and fan questions

[Al1exx]

My V6 Nova has a wonderful workaround for the radiator fan in that you have to twist a couple of wires together on the dash to get the thing to come on, then rip em apart to get it to go off lol this obviously is a pile of pants so I plan on wiring it to come on in the normal way - I don't really want a switch on the dash - anyone have any ideas where I'd start to look for the wiring / sensor on the engine that switches the fan on?

Also, the temp gauge doesn't work in my dash but I have a different gauge wired in that measures in deg. C - what's the 'normal' running temp of the V6 in deg C does anyone know? I've heard that cars in general should be 'broadly' 90?

Finally, V6 Nova 4 door saloon in silver, J324 PDB - anyone recognise the reg or know anything about it? :thumb: I don't know anything about the engine spec or anything lol

Standard nova rad?

if so, should be a rad fan switch on the left hand side of the rad (viewed from the front) connect the 2 wires you have to twist together to that fan switch and should come on automatically.

90 degrees is about right for running temp.
