a compression test will tell you that , or you can check/replace the thermostat and see how the coolant looks , do the fans come on when the temp is up ?

Has your Bantam got a two speed fan. The air conditioner equipped vehicles have two speed fans as standard. Check that the low speed and high speed fans are operating. If you vehicle has an after market air con system the fan will only be a single speed.
