The fan cut - off thermoswitch is on the forward driver's side corner of the rocker cover. (Where the red coloured digits are in the photo bottom left corner, slightly further towards the front of the car.) Have a look round there but I presume there's more length of wire around than is visible in the photo.

just above the pic is i have beeen told an earth metal thingy near the top of the strut, ive stuck it on there

 

radiator fan is cool now! but id stil liket o know exactly where it goes

 

its def the neutral wire, live is already connected, as the fan will turn on at random times

There should be a temp sensor that it connects to on the rocker cover as RW1 said near the bottom left corner in the photo.

Is there at least a threaded hole where you've been looking, ie. someone has removed the sensor?

not sure, ill put soem pics up soon.

[RW1 0]

OK, I was going to suggest that. It's not a big sensor, about 1 cm diameter.

Bottom right of pic near oil filler on rocker cover. Forward and to right hand car side of filler hole.

sorry, reiterate pls, from the oil filler. Forward and to the right, sounds like spark plug from that pic above.

the sensor is bolted down with one of the rocker cover bolts
