My corsa last week started to NEALLY over heat its going to about 100 degrees also I think its getting up to temp to quick after about a mile at the most its at 90 degres and as soon as I stop in traffic it will raise pritty quickly to 100 then come down very slow once I drive off again I've removed the thermostat to see if it was any better and its just the same also if I put my heaters on it will start to get wormer raising from 90 degrees. Fan works as I have it on a switch any ideas anyone? Ilso I thought it could be a airlock so I have bled the system twice now

Getting to 100 isn't overheating mate. Even as standard most of them don't kick in until very late.
If you want fan to come on earlier, get a cool runnin thermostat, ad make sure you're using antifreeze

I know 100 is ok but I've had the car almost 4 year now and its always sat at 90 and took a little time to warm up its just now with it going to 100 and getting warm pritty quick I can't help but think theres something up. I put new antifreeze/coolant in when bleed it about 2-3 litres and rest water
