System needs bleeding/new coolant, I take it the fan doesn't kick in at all?

The fan does kick in but seems to do pretty much nothing in terms of cooling the engine while idling.

Poor radiator first port of call. Could also be a shafted water pump too

+1 for Gandi's post. Rad could be partially blocked or water pump needs changing.
