My ford bantam 2003 model 1,6i XLE rocam engine is overheating after few minutes after I started.Fan tested and is functioning well. When I switch on the aircon the fan works fine & when it goes to red the aircon switches on but still overheating. Water and oil are in the correct levels. What could be the problem?

Is the fan a two speed fan ? The air con models should be two speed. Is the thermostat a genuine Ford part or pirate part ?
