Thanks for your help, the fans are on but like i said they will turn off especially when it's getting hotter, they come and go on spariadically. I'm thinking thermostate switch!

I also have a leak with my water pump, which is being replaced with thermosate next week when parts come in.

Could be the coolant temperature sensor or the engine temperature gauge switch and thermostat
