Hi Tonyh and thanks for the input,
have located a black box at the side of the battery as you pointed out and it has 3 relays and 3 x 40Amp fuses all connections look clean and ok,
removed and re-seated each relay. although I hav?nt electrically tested the relays (have a multimeter but dont know how LOL)
also substituted a different temp sensor from another 2.0HDi, tested the sensor :- 4.5k ohms at room temp and 1.5k ohms in boiling water, so as you have already said the sensor is ok.
Baffled, could it be something to do with the fact that my Air Con is?nt working? (holed condencer), since i know the fan is supposed to work with the aircon switched on.
