However tomorrow I will buy a neon screwdriver and test for 230v across the
fan coil. Can people here confirm that is correct and safe?

It's not, I can test your fan from here as accurately as you can do it
with a neon screwdriver. You can't test across anything with a neon
screwdriver, you'll strtuggle to test anything reliably.

If you're going to test it buy a decent multimeter. You can get a
suitable one for about £20-30. Alternatively, leave it well alone and
give someone a call.
