Vauxhall Zafira overheating

Car: Vauxhall Zafira
Variant: 1.6 club - petrol
Model Year: 2007
Categories: Engine & Drivetrain
My water tank bubbles up and spills out when engine hot if blowers are off but if I have the blowers on either hot or cold then can run ok, any idea why?

By "blowers" I take it to mean the heater in the cabin?
Well they will lower the coolant temperature some,
perhaps enough to "cool" the coolant down.
I'd be more concerned to see if the radiator fan is switching in/out.
Is it?

As suggested , check engine coolant fan cutting in .Check / replace coolant tank cap .If still having problems , check for sticking thermostat .
