I've got an 80lpm Davies Craig pump on my A15 with a pump controller. Most of the time it just pulses (when I can hear it). The controller replaces the thermostat for regulating coolant flow by adjusting pump speed based on a temperature sensor. Once up to temperature I don't see the needle move at all. Don't ever run the pump dry, they have ceramic seals in them that don't like to be run dry.

I've also got a electric fan switched off a 70°C thermo switch mounted on the radiator outlet. Comes on when it needs to.
