I have not noticed any leaks.
Problem started while driving through wet slushy
roads, temp light came on and when I pulled over
purge tank boiled over.
Fan does come on periodically with the ac on.
Water pump maybe? How do I check that?
Thanks!

The water pump on the Cooper S should always be engaged (unlike the cooper where it has an 'on demand' setup), so the water should always be circulating. The thermostat bypasses the radiator when cold and opens the radiator circuit when hot.

Did this problem start all of a sudden 'out of the blue' or were there some changes made to the engine that prompted this problem?
Is the radiator hot when idling with the temp sensor plugged in? - to confirm thermostat is opening as the coolant heats up.
The signal from the thermostat temp sensor goes directly to the computer. Since the fan runs with the temp sensor unplugged, it sounds like the temp sensor is not sending the proper signal.
Did you use an adapter cable when installing the new thermostat housing?
Can I get the last 7 digits of the vin number?

No. The temp sensor is in the thermostat housing.

I can idle the car until it reaches about 207 degrees and cooland will fill and overflow the tank.
Thanks for any suggestions
