Thanks everyone for all the suggestions! Looks like I have a few options here to look at more indepth.
Just to answer a few of the questions...
The engine is a very custom job and yeah the temp sensor for thermo fan, engine temp guage, and water pump, have all ended up in a alloy pipe that exits the rear of the head and goes to the radiator. They are probably 20cm + away from the engine so really need water flowing past them to get accurate readings.
I cannot believe the craig davies pump controller does not do what i'm trying to setup. I've talked for ages to their tech support department and they swear blind that the pump doesn't spin at all until the sensor starts to see a rise in temp. I reckon that is crazy and it should spin slowly then increase in speed as temp goes up.
So we actually own a $300 controller for it, but it proves quite useless. All it seems to be is a fancy thermo fan style switch. And it uses a stupid probe you have to put into the water pipe that never seals correctly. Be much nicer with a screw in sensor.
I'll have a good read over all the suggestions  thanks again!
Probably will have some more questions once I decide what path to take
Cheers
Joel
