damm car
basically i have posted another topic relating to this but ill explain with updated info...
right basically when the car gets to about 92-93, before the fan would kick in the car would just cut out. i have been told it may be head gasket but after asking a mechinic he said ur head gasket is fine. he said it may be an electrical prob but not sure what. anyone have any ideas? he also said the overheating and cuttin out are probably not related and are just a conisidence which im pretty sure are not true althou he kinda proved it wen he kept the car stationary and just revved the engine until it got to around 100 o c and fan kicked in, then i drove away 5mins later and it cut out! (mechnic had gone thou).
so any ideas? it seems to survive when i keep my fans on hot but i die in the summer doing this. ive tried an induction kit to try to get more air though which i suppose has helped a bit but not alot.
its a Corsa B 1.0 GLS model (3dr) 2000 
thanks for any help/time.

just to add... the cuttin out happens becuase of low revs? the revs go lower than normal and the car just dies, starts back up fine after but jesus nearly killed me a couple of times going down high street im too busy thinking what the fuck??? and i nearly hit a bus! other time i was just about to turn a corner with my lovely power steering when i went all heavy and i cudnt use my finger to ease it round nemore and nearly went into a ditch! i swear god dnt like me.
