Realoy well when you drive does go down just realised fan was not kicking in but I pulles some wires about put fuse in and out and it came on I was thinking thermostat stuck closed.
Or dodgy water temp sensor givomg false readding.

Whats the temp gauge doing?

[Shizzle]

Going up the fan come on eventually but not always comming on causing it to overheat temp gauge just goes up until I refill with water and goes down again but fan stops and overheats.

With the cooling fan if it is not cutting in try wiggle the multiplug that connects to the fan if it then comes on the problem is the connection built into the fan. My car would start to overheat then all of the sudden the temputure would drop and then it would go back up to overheating this mainly happened when I was stuck in traffic it would overheat try this and if thats the problem replace the fan

I have a spare fan at work so will replace tommorow thank you for replies.

Its pretty straight forward to do the fan the only tricky bit is the fan shround clip cover is quite easy to break how much did it cost to get the banded steelies

[Shizzle]

I payed £400 he supplied the wheels banded them and custom painyed them and delivered them
