   The cooling fan cuts in after about 10 second after turning the key, and then stays on even after the key is removed, untill i take out the fuse! The temperature gauge reads correctly but the overheat light at the top is constantly on!
   
   I have change the two sensors on the water pump but it has made no difference!
   
   also fitted new rad and refilled system, any help would be much appreciated!

   Your system could have air in. Try bleeding it.
