My coolant is empty to so obviously I've got a leak...so after a bit of inspecting i Found the problem,The pipe on the left on the inlet was split, that's where I was loosing coolant from, it had split rite on the kink. Let her run to get hot and it started spraying out of it.

Here's the broken bit:

So chopped it down and put it back on:

Now she's running ok again, not losing water and the temperature is fine an the fans kicking in fine.

Then on to the washer jets not working, popped the passenger side one off and pulled the leaver... No water... So blew down the pipe and tried again... Success it worked so obviously got a bit or muck in there blocking it so at some point and sort it out, but there working for now :).
