I'm thinking maybe temp sensor cause I don't think cooling fan is switching on either. Any ideas on where to look?

Been checking the coolant level via removing the radiator cap?
Been correctly bleeding the cooling system before refitting the radiator cap?

Coolant level should be checked at the reservoir tank, it has a high and low level line.

So I think it might be a sensor. Missus told me that sometimes the needle doesn't move off cold lol. I'll still bleed it our anyways
