in this weather, My fan comes on after about five or ten minutes of town driving. Seems a bit quick. Dodgy thermostat? only had the car through winter, so it might be perfectly normal to be up to a high temp that quickly.

Sounds about right to me if the weather is hot.

My fan comes on when the needle on the temp gauge is just below the red portion...

mine comes in @ around 90ish,
but found it hard to keep a constant temp,
but since i did a coolant change and vaselined the front dodgy connection, shes now costant and the fans hardly ever need to cut in

Sounds normal to me... It unlikely to be a thermostat fault either.. if its stuck closed the fan wouldn't cool the engine at all anyway so you'd just overheat.
