sorry yes have tryed this about 3 times and it boils over around the same point have had the temp gauge and sensor tested all ok
dad has re tryed it and the fan still is not coming on

so the problem is the fan not coming on? what happens if you join the wires on the fan switch in the radiator and go for a run ... ? I would say at this time of year the fan not working wouldnt be an issue as the heat would be lost by the movment of the car and when standing the wind we are having will blow through the radiator and cool it ..
