Looking at your old posts, it looks like you have a diesel - it helps if you stick your car spec in your signature, so it appears at the foot of each post.

 

Level 2 is behind the panel of fuses you see when you open the fusebox. This post in the FAQ section will show you how to gain access.

 

I would suggest using the search function on here for 'overheating', there are a number of issues which could cause your problem. It's not normal for the diesel to overheat even without a fan, and I doubt that the fan is your problem if this occured during normal driving. You could be looking at anything from a bad thermostat to faulty water pump, or even head gasket if there are other symptoms.
