check your thermostat. Haynes stuff. it will require draining of your cooling sys. a way of checking is if when you have been driving and she is nice and warm and the temp gauge is just off the COLD mark then a new thermostat is in order :)
hope it helps

try joining the to pins on the plug that goes into the radiator on the left handside about half way down. if it dosnet switch the fan on then either your wirring is fucked or the fan is fucked. if it does switch the fan on than either your thermostat is fucked (take out and boil in apan of water to test) or the switch is fucked (simply replace wiv one from a scrappy coz there about a tenner from vauxhall dealers (?16 if its a mk2!)
