ok got given car the cam beit went on previous owner got it vall fixed starts like a dream prob is it is over heating fan keeps on and off in short bursts any help in fixing prob think it might be thermostat orair lock have tried to blead the system but still over heatying is there any proseadure to bleading the system also above the air box there is a thing with a red button and tow power spades comeing off it any ideas
 
If you have found all the bleed screws and bled the system with the heater turned full on there is one trick that will either fix an airlock or kill you.
I don't recommend trying this but cracking the water filler when the engine is hot will create a surge that will clear most air locks. It will also squirt boiling water all over the place.
No idea about the red button, someone fitted a battery isolatot perhaps.
