is there any noise coming from the water pump? was it ever changed any water leaks from it? the radioator could needa sensor my old corsas radiaotr wouldnt work either so got one from scrappies and worked fine, its located at left hand side bottom of the radiator could be worth a check mate, start with the rad sensor first no point replacing everthing on engine for it to be something silly.
