I have a 96 Disco. About two weeks ago I was sitting idle with the A/C on at a friend’s house and noticed after about ten minutes the heat gauge had gone up to HOT so I shut the engine down for about 30 minutes to cool. I added some antifreeze and water hoping that would take care of it which it did for about two weeks. I was coming home the other night with the A/C on and it over heated again so I immediately turned off the car and sat on the side of the road for about 30 minutes. The next morning I got up thinking I lost antifreeze but it was still full. I removed the black plug from the radiator and made sure there were not bubbles. I went out this morning with the air on and when I stopped at a red light the gauge started to rise so I shut the A/C off and the gauge went down. One thing I have noticed is that the condenser fan is not kicking on. I usually can hear it at a stop light. Is there a way to test the fan to see if it's good and could there be other things that would cause the fan not to kick on?
