Is the radiator fan working?
=A0
sure is but it stays on all the time as soon as the engine comes upto heat n thanx for the rapid reply
Either your radiators clogged or you've got an engine problem.
Take it back. There are lots of possibilities. At a guess the head gasket is leaking. Try it with the water cap loose, if it is Ok then it is very likely the head gasket is blowing into the water system, this causes gas locks and overheating. A gas test will confirm it.

cheers buddy your a star
took it back to the garage yesterday n they ran it n turned it over n had a look at it n said it was fine just an airlock .....driving through the streets fine trhe went onto the motorway not going over
3000rpm then it started to overheat again but the funny thing was wheni took my foot off the gas the temp came down so its only when there is presure on the engine .....any idea ?????
same as before. Get them to do a gas test above the coolant.

Tim..
Take it back again. It might be the radiator but it sounds more like it's far too tight or the head gaskets gone.
Just run it until the engine explodes then set fire to the car outside their workshop. Or go and give them a bollocking before it does.
