Re. the fan motor:

The easiest thing to check is the fan motor fuse before you do anything
else.  You can test the fan motor by directly applying 12V to it.

And it's amazing how a small change in coolant level can translate into a
big difference at the gauge.

This is from my Mk.1 experience only tho.
