how can you tell if the water pump is working to cool the engine without the dials in by the way, and how long on tickover untill the fan will come on
also with it been a track car how do you remove the thermostat so the coolant is always circulating

You can get a scanner plugged into the car which gives a coolant temperature readout. Is that why you wanted a scanner?
No point in removing the thermostat.
You still got air con fitted? Switch it on and the cooling fan should come on at low speed. That doesn't prove whether it works at high speed though.

Car warms up and the thermostat opens...and it stays open. Can't see the problem with that.
Have you just removed the pump? If the wiring is still factory standard to the fan then it might switch the fan on when the AC controls is switched on.

Sorted by running a switch off the fan to the fuse box.
