took it for a 20 mile run and when we got there it was boiling over
(must have broke while getting there, over wise we wouldn't have)

took 4 trips to get the car home.
the fan never kicked in

though the thermostat was dead - called a garage and ordered a new part. fitted it and ran the car on tick over to warm it up with out getting stuck some where. after some revving the temp got to 110 and it boiled over again.
now thinking its the fan switch or the fan. going to try bypassing the switch and thermostat to see if the fan runs
by passed the fan, fan runs
I can't get at the fan switch and the radiator.
think that may be gone
