The switch was changed with a new one.
The thermostat was changed for a new one.
And the fan still does not work?

Maybe its the fan?

If everything is working fine, and your still over heating, maybe you have a blown head gasket or a warped head.
 
but if the headgaskets blown would there not be oil in the water ?
 
oil in the water or water in the oil...do you see signs of either?

Well you got me as to what the issue is...there are only a few parts to the cooling system, all of which you tell us have been checked and in working order.

Maybe its time to have a professional look at this for you.
 
Weird? I think it calls for a proper diagnosis , you can only do so much on the net. Something is definately blocked or something if you unplug the fan switch does the fan work??

i think you could be right by this stage of the game not to much to look at now :thanks:
 
i give up on it now its starting to cut out when ideling so am gonna give it to someone to look at incase anything else goes wrong :angry2: thanks for all the replys and help :)
 
you have a very serious problem, that seems to be getting worse...really sounds like a blown head gasket and/or cracked cylinder. But this is only a guess.

What modifications have you done to the engine? List them please to be able to help you.

Have you changed the thermoswitch? [I am not referring to the cooling fan relay]
