lol, it's about 18 inches back from the cat that you need access. Easiest way is to undo the cat to center section join (new bolts at the ready as they will be rusty) drop the heatshield (not the one above the cat, the next one back) and you will see where the cables hook in. It's a 13mm you...
done the same, usually on tuned engines as they're that one grade colder. Work perfectly. But to be honest BCPR6ES/BCPR7ES/BCR8ES also work perfectly in dozens of engines I've done. (shorter life expectancy though, prob 10-15k) using the correct resistor type plugs is the real key.
as above, fans come on from cold if the AC is active.
Headgasket won't have been gone, they just don't go unless there are very extreme circumstances. I'd be searching for a leak. if they've used a non genuine water pump (likely for a non specialist) then it's probably leaking there
wouldn't worry me even for 1 minute personally. i'll happily run without on my own cars.
If you want them, they're cheper new than you'd think. I've seen people pay more for old dirty ones than new genuine stuff costs. LOL

well the blocks painted, and the head etc has all been acid cleaned. just not blinged up. It's all actually pretty clean (apart form a few bits needing a wipe over), just the hoses make it look worse. I even had the header tank sat with bleach in it overnight to get some of the scum out. I've a...
A few "in progress" pictures
temp sensors fitted for gauges
Had to use a T-piece due to the extra size of the modine heat exchanger rather than screwing the sensor straight into the block.
Engine loom all built and in place.
can change the fuel pressure regulator if it bothers you enough. it shouldn't get any worse than it is now though and it will probably start doing the same in a year
