Also replace your thermostat first as why did it go down to 70. When mine used to go down from 90 normal temp i took thermo out and put it in boiling water and it did not open. Strange as it must of alway been open.  :huh: If it shut it will over heat big time / it could just be faulty /common crap on most cars.

I would check to see if fans work by unpluging the sensor on the radiator and bridging the plug with a wire ,if they work then its the temp sensor in the rad thats gone. This : http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/141003935455?var=lv&var=sbar&_lwgsi=y&cbt=y&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=66

My uncle bridged it over and the fans didnt work. What does that mean it could be?

It stays at 90c all the time but goes down to around 70ish when I had the blowers on hot at full. It also shot right up when it was overheating so im fairly sure the thermostat is working correctly?

Still waiting for a solution as the fans dont come on at all when ticking over.

i would remove the fan and test it on a bench with a 12v battery and see if it can be fixed ,if pop to a scrap yard to get another fan.

I managed to get it fixed for £20.

Basically the fuse had corroded away underneath and you couldnt tell from the top so they fitted a new wire and its not working correctly!
