Do you find the temperature is still high mate?
I do.... so my mechanic is 99% sure its the thermostat....
in your case it may be the thermoswitch... got a new one, if you want it ill sell you it?

all ya do m8 is wait till it gets above 90c and feel ya the rad and if it gets warm the thermostat has opened and its your fan switch the bit ya bridged but if it aint getting warm when its over 98 or so its ya thermostat and thats why ya fan switch aint turning ya fan on coz no hot water the make the biometic strip in the fan switch work
