Check for leaks at the front of the car where the radiator was replaced and along the center section of the car (where the water pump is), as well as by the pass side rear wheel well (to see if the leak is near the coolant tank). It's most likely one of these locations where you are losing your coolant.

Thanks for this, I've taken it back to my mechanic with a print of the bleeding procedure and everything seems to be OK now, fans are kicking in and out, no warning light and no loss of coolant. Fingers crossed everything is now OK. Thanks for all your valuable advice everyone!

Porsche specialist for me next time, it's not worth the worry trying to save a few pounds!
