I get insured tomorow and have a big problem with my car, when i turn it on and off the fan kicks in and stays on for almost 15 mins even though the car is cold. I just left it on for 10 mins and the car got really hot and when i unscrewed the radiator water bottle thingy (yes im a noob) lots of water was pouring out and steam, ive tried bleeding it but neither air or water comes out of them so i dont have a clue what is going on tbh. My temp light is always on aswell any help appreciated! :D

What's the oil look like?

Does the heater work?

Read the guide to bleeding, as you could have an airlock!

The heaters blows cold when on hot
And i have tried bleeding but as i said there is no water or air coming out just nothing

Maybe a Coolant temp sensor...
Light might go away and may stop the fans when on when I start her

i reckon could be fan swith or thermostat are both pipes hot from rad when it hot ? also if blowing cold air you might not bleed all 3 holes make sure they all pee out coolant then tighten . i just changed my thermostat and fan switch on mine due to overheating :)
