I've reconnected the clamp so hoping that'll resolve my issue - will confirm when I get around to it.

Yeah I recall it took longer than the ista instructions suggested to get to the minimum temp for the fluid in both stages. I started the work with a totally cold car though (cooled overnight) and the instructions mentioned that it could take longer for temp to be reached if that were the case.
