Default cars died on me!

i'm pissed right off , out earlier in my s2 and it died on me! trying to start it for about 10mins but nothing there , had a look at temp gauge and was pretty high , so narrowed it down to fan not cutting in and overheatting!
so i put fan on perminent and it eventually started up! same thing happened 1 hour later but fan on perminent , wont start at all , temp gauge fine! what the fook is it now???? couldnt look cause its dark but got it towed home and fook it havin some cans and chilling , any ideas on what to check boys and gals?
