check your thermostat mate. they fail open so it just circulates through the radiator and you lose heat.

90 degrees is about bang on mate the fan comes on mine at about 92 or 93 degrees and did so on my last 2 corsa's if the thermostat was closed all time it would overheat as it wouldnt circulate round the engine or the rad, if it was stuck open it would run cool but would warm up wen stood still as theres no cold air going through the rad to cool it down again now everyone says boil kettle chuck it in see if it but the fact is its no good really as water boils at 100 degrees and your thermostat should open at about 83 or 84 degrees so perswonally i would buy a new one there not dear it could also be due to lack of water in the system, or a blockage in your heater matrix or worst case fuked water pump
