    Just a thought!

    Have you got sufficient coolant and at the right mixture?

    The tank may have been topped up with water alone, over the years, and even if the tank is at the right level, the mixture may be too weak.

    how much are you overheating by? At 92C the fan should kick in taking temp back down to 86-87C. My car will often hit 92C in traffic but once on open road cools again. If its getting higher than this perhaps fan isn't doing its job properly.
