Further to the above I noticed that between the cpu and the cooling fins 
there was a LOT of lint. I removed the cpu fan and vacuumed the lint off.

Now I have a CPU Temp of 50deg C. (which I'm assuming for this CPU is OK).

Chip Temp:   +40.0°C  (low  = -128.0°C, high = +127.0°C) 
CPU Temp:    +50.0°C  (low  = -128.0°C, high = +127.0°C) 
Sys Temp:    +39.0°C  (low  = +93.0°C, high = -41.0°C)  ALARM 

I still have to replace the bodgy case fan and put the side cover back 
on but I think I'm out of the woods.
